COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is a 3 credit course that will provide students with little or no medical background the opportunity to develop a basic literacy level in all diagnostic medical imaging modalities. This course will provide potential sonography (DMS) or radiography (RAD) students with the required literacy level to better understand and function within the clinical components of a DMS or RAD educational program. This is an information course and NOT a "how to do" course, at no time will the students be instructed in the methodology or techniques utilized in the actual production of diagnostic images. This course will provide medical assisting (MOA) or nursing (NUR) students with expanded knowledge of diagnostic imaging preparations, procedures, and the sequencing of procedures and expected obtainable results. This course will provide for those students in the process of selecting an Allied Health career the insight to make a more informed career choice.
