Computed Tomography Imaging Clinical Practicum
This course is designed to prepare registered radiographers to perform Computed Tomography exams under the direct supervision of a registered
technologist. Documentation of 125 CT studies in specific categories is required for the ARRT Computed Tomography Registry Examination. The
student will be assigned for 100 hours to an off-campus clinical site to perform a variety of computed tomography exams and may or may not
accumulate the 125 exams. Students will be required to maintain their own records of signatures for these exams. Tuition waiver applies; seniors
pay fee only.
Pre requisite: Successful completion of Computed Tomography Imaging Course and Contrast Administration for Computed Tomography Imaging
To register for this course you must have prior approval from Kathy Lewandowski at 240-567-5565.

Advanced Computed Tomography Imaging Clinical Practicum
This course is a continuation of Computed Tomography Imaging Clinical Practicum and will offer students the ability to continue to perform
Computed Tomography exams under the direct supervision of a registered technologist. Documentation of 125 CT studies in specific categories is
required for the ARRT Computed Tomography Registry Examination. The student will be assigned for no more than 100 hours to an off-campus
clinical site to perform a variety of computed tomography exams and may or may not accumulate the 125 exams. Students will be required to
maintain their own records of signatures for these exams. Tuition waiver applies; seniors pay fee only.
Pre requisite: Successful completion of Computed Tomography Imaging Clinical Practicum
Magnetic Resonace Imaging
This course is designed to provide the registered radiographers with the knowledge and understanding of content specifications required by the
ARRT examination in Magnetic Resonance. The content will include the risks and safety concerns related to MRI, MR signal production, T1 and T2
relaxation, relationship between tissue and image contrast, data acquisition, pulse sequences, sequence parameters and options, data
manipulation, instrumentation, artifacts, and quality control. This course does not have a clinical component, students will need to acquire the
necessary repetitions for the ARRT examination on their own. Tuition waiver applies; seniors pay fee only.
