Page 11 / 36 2023-2024 ADDENDUM to the Rasmussen University Catalog and Student Handbook April 25, 2024 QMB3200 Introduction to Scripting (12/21/2023) 60 hours, 4 credits This course is an introduction to scripting using the online SAS® software suite for accessing manipulating, analyzing, and visualizing data. Students will learn how to write scripts that are used throughout the data analytics lifecycle to facilitate descriptive and statistical analysis and to produce reports and visualizations that communicate actionable insights to audiences of varying technical backgrounds. Prerequisite: None RTE2000 Radiographic Equipment and Acquisition (3/28/2024) 40 hours, 3 credits RTE2000 Lecture (20 hours, 2 credits) RTE2000L Lab (20 hours, 1 credit) This course is the study of factors that influence radiologic images and the equipment that produces the images. It places focus on the correct selection of factors and operation of equipment to produce a quality image. Topics covered will include image acquisition, technical evaluation, and equipment operation. This 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
