ICE264 3 Credits 3 Periods MRI Physics, Instrumentation and Safety An overview into the physics, equipment, physical design, and image characteristics of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. Prerequisites: [(Certified by American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in Radiography or in Radiation Therapy), or (certified by ARRT or the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) in Nuclear Medicine), or (certified by American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) or ARRT in Diagnostic Medical Sonography), or (Radiography, Radiation Therapist, Nuclear Medicine, or Sonography student currently enrolled at GateWay), or registry eligible graduate] and DMI/DMS/ICE220 and ICE233. ICE265 3 Credits 3 Periods Computed Tomography Procedure Protocols Standard procedures and protocols for Computed Tomography (CT) imaging in alignment with the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) examination curriculum outline. Includes patient preparation and safety, choosing appropriate protocols, interventional procedures, contrast indicators, post-exam processing quality issues, and adapting to atypical scanning situations. Prerequisites: Prerequisites: [(Certified ARRT in Radiography/Radiation Therapy) or (ARRT/NMTCB cert in Nuclear Medicine) or (Radiography/Nuclear Medicine student) or eligible grad] & (DMI/ICE223 or NUC150) &I CE248 & ICE263 with a C or higher, or permission of Instructor. ICE268 2 Credits 12 Periods MRI Advanced Imaging Practicum Advanced Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) clinical practicum is for those certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in Radiography, Radiation Therapy, or Sonography, or certified by ARRT of the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) in Nuclear Medicine. Use of correct magnetic resonance imaging instrumentation, protocol implementation and positioning techniques. Apply MRI safety, quality control procedures and effective patient care and communication skills. Prerequisites: Currently enrolled in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Program. ICE269 3 Credits 3 Periods Magnetic Resonance Procedure Protocols Imaging techniques related to the central nervous system (CNS), neck, thorax, musculoskeletal system and abdominopelvic regions. Specific clinical application, available coils and use. Considerations in scan sequences, specific choices in protocols including slice thickness, phase direction, flow compensation, and positioning criteria. Anatomical structures and plane that best demonstrates anatomy. Signal characteristics of normal and abnormal structures. Prerequisites: [(Certified by American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in Radiography or in Radiation Therapy), or (certified by ARRT or the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) in Nuclear Medicine), or Certified by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) or (Radiography or Nuclear Medicine student), or registry eligible graduate] and ICE233 and ICE264 with a grade of "C" or higher, or permission of Instructor. ICE272 3 Credits 3 Periods Magnetic Resonance Pathology and Contrast Common pathologies found in magnetic resonance imaging, their appearance with various imaging protocols including all commonly imaged body systems and areas. Case studies and images of the pathologies to reinforce the lectures. Prerequisites: [(Certified by American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in Radiography or in Radiation Therapy), or (certified by ARRT or the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) in Nuclear Medicine), or Certified by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) or (Radiography or Nuclear Medicine student), or registry eligible graduate] and ICE233 and ICE264 with a grade of "C" or higher, or permission of Instructor.
