Anatomy and Physiology is the study of both structure and function of the human body. Students who wish to go into the field of radiology have to know the basics of how a body is put together and how it works. The course helps students learn the bones that make up the human skeleton, location of all internal organs, and how all the body parts work together to form the human organism.
Pharmacology helps radiology students understand the concepts of administering contrast dyes and teaches them the process of venipuncture. The skills learned in the course are vital to a radiology student's preparedness.
The course emphasizes the four radiographic qualities. The class teaches students about such factors as detail and density. Upon completing the course students will have the skills necessary to produce diagnostic images.
Survey of Medical and Surgical Diseases provides students with an overview of diseases and conditions that may warrant the need for diagnostic imaging. The course will help guide future radiology technicians in identification of pathogens and diseases on radiographs.
