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. Pre requisite for this clinical course
include:, medical requirements, proof of current employment as a Radiographer and clinical placement availability. Student must have
completed Montgomery College WDCE Computed Tomography Imaging, Contrast administration, MC or comparable cross sectional
anatomy, and approval from instructor to enroll. Tuition waiver applies; seniors pay fee only.

Magnetic Resonance 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: patient care, imaging procedures, sequence parameters and options, data acquisition and processing, and
physical principals of image formation. 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 currently 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.
Required textbook found in the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus Bookstore: MRI in Practice, 4th edition, Westbrook and Kaut
This course will be offered in the Spring of 2016 . Please contact Kathy Lewandowski for more information.
