This addendum modifies catalog content as indicated and supersedes all previous addenda. Page 12 / 41 2023-2024 ADDENDUM to the Rasmussen University Catalog and Student Handbook June 27, 2024 course will prepare students for operation of all radiologic equipment and the selection of appropriate factors using digital radiography equipment. Prerequisite: RTE1100 Radiology Physics RTE2400 Radiographic Positioning and Anatomy II (3/28/2024) 110 hours, 5 credits RTE2400 Lecture (10 hours, 1 credit) RTE2400L Lab (40 hours, 2 credits) RTE2400LL Clinical (60 hours, 2 credits) This course is the study of proper radiologic positioning of the lower extremities, pelvic girdle, and spine. It places focus on maintaining the level of knowledge and professionalism developed within Radiographic Positioning and Anatomy I and continues to expand the student's knowledge, skills, and abilities within radiography. Topics covered are the standard routine projections for the lower extremities, pelvic girdle, and spine as well as associated image analysis. This course gives the student an expanded preparation in becoming a radiographer. Prerequisite: RTE2300 Radiographic Positioning and Anatomy I RTE2500 Radiographic Positioning and Anatomy III (3/28/2024) 110 hours, 5 credits RTE2500 Lecture (10 hours, 1 credit) RTE2500L Lab (40 hours, 2 credits) RTE2500LL Clinical (60 hours, 2 credits) This course is the study of proper radiologic positioning of the skull, fluoroscopy, and special procedures. It places focus on trauma protocols, special procedures as well as critical thinking scenarios. Topics covered are proper C-arm use, fluoroscopic procedures, and possible pharmaceutical reactions that may occur in radiology. This course will prepare the students for knowledge needed to fully prepare the student to perform at all levels of the clinical rotations. Prerequisite: RTE2400 Radiographic Positioning and Anatomy II RTE2600 Radiologic Technology Practicum I (3/28/2024) 300 hours, 10 credits This course is designed to provide the student with a clinical experience that includes a solid introduction to radiologic imaging in various clinical settings. This course functions to expand and apply knowledge gained in the Radiographic Positioning and Anatomy courses. One of the assumptions of this curriculum is that the student, who has passed the Radiographic Technology core courses, will be ready to apply knowledge by operating radiologic equipment and procuring quality radiologic images beginning Week 1 of this course. Prerequisites: RTE2200 Radiobiology and Radiation Protection; RTE2500 Radiographic Positioning and Anatomy III STS1005C Fundamentals of Surgical Technology (3/28/2024) 70 hours, 4 credits This course will orient the student to surgical technology and prepare them for scrub and circulator duties as well as Surgical Procedures I, and Surgical Practicum I and II. Topics include standards of conduct, special populations, safety standards, equipment, biomedical science, asepsis and sterile technique, surgical supplies, and instrumentation. This course is a preparatory class for Surgical Procedures I and Surgical Practicum I and II. Prerequisites: HSC1531 Medical Terminology; PHA1500 Structure and Function of the Human Body Pre- or corequisite: BSC2087C Human Anatomy and Physiology I STS1186C Surgical Procedures I (3/28/2024) 70 hours, 4 credits This course will expand on the duties and responsibilities as the role of scrub or STSR and circulator in the field of surgical technology. Areas explored and applied in this course include wound healing, surgical case management, instrumentation, diagnostic procedures, minimally invasive surgery, robotics, general, obstetrics, and gynecologic surgery. This course is a preparatory class for Surgical Procedures II. Prerequisite: STS1005C Fundamentals of Surgical Technology Pre- or corequisite: BSC2089C Human Anatomy and Physiology II
