GS020174   Introductory Diagnostic Imaging Rotation

Willis, Charles. Four semester hours. Summer and Fall annually. Prerequisite: Introduction to Medical Physics II (GS020103), IV (GS020193), and consent of instructor.

This rotation provides the student the opportunity to obtain clinical and practical exposure to diagnostic imaging and physics practices. In addition to the observation of diagnostic studies in radiology (e.g., general radiology, CT, MRI), ultrasound and nuclear medicine, performance of specific calibration and quality-assurance equipment measurements is required of the student. The student will observe patient diagnostic studies, observe the performance of radiological diagnosis, perform calibration and quality assurance tests on diagnostic imaging equipment.
