Courses in Medical Imaging Technology

"P" refers to a course prerequisite and "C" to a course that must be taken concurrently.

AHLT R404 Sectional Imaging Anatomy (2 cr.) An in-depth study of sectional anatomy pertinent to ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Standard transverse, parasaggital, and coronal planes are included, utilizing images from all three imaging modalities. A discussion of technique, artifact, and pathology-related alterations of cross-sectional anatomic appearances is included.

AHLT R407 Seminar (1-5 cr.) Individual and group study focusing upon advances in medical imaging.

AHLT R408 Introduction to MIT Projects I and II (0.5-4 cr.) Study of selected topics in radiologic sciences. May be repeated once for credit if topics differ.

AHLT R409 Senior Project in Medical Imaging Technology (3 cr.) Independent readings and research on a selected medical imaging topic. A paper in publishable form must be written as part of the project.

AHLT R451 Medical Imaging Theory (3 cr.) P: Math, Physics, AHLT R404. Lectures on the physical principles of advanced imaging modalities including computed tomography, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and interventional imaging. Image evaluation of normal studies is stressed. Student presentations and journal reports are required.

AHLT R452 Medical Imaging Applications (3 cr.) P: AHLT R451. Lectures on and evaluations of the computed tomographic, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and interventional images as applied to pathologic conditions of specific body areas. Student presentations and journal reports are required.
