Course Overview
This course is designed as a review for radiographers. The intent is to bridge their current knowledge and work experience to a level required to safely practice in the Canadian healthcare workplace. This course will use digital images extensively during lectures and laboratory sessions. The curriculum will cover radiographic positioning and image assessment of the human skeleton, including cranium, vertebrae and major physiological systems. In addition, students will also be engaged in imaging quality control tests. This course reviews human anatomy and physiology systems as represented by radiographic images. It covers the entire bony skeleton, gastrointestinal, urinary, hepatic, cerebral, and major cardiovascular systems.
