  • Subject: = Introduction to Bone Ima= ging, 6 credits.
  • Location: Clinic Building, classroom P202
  • Time: 7:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. e= very Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday
  • Prerequisites: Spinal anatomy (ANAT 211= ), Gross anatomy (ANAT 202), Gross anatomy II (ANAT 204)
  • Co-requisites: None
  • Prerequisites to: Rad II (ROEN 506)
  • Course description: This 6 credit course is the first of five radiology courses in= the Doctor of Chiropractic curriculum. Rad I begins with methods of imagin= g, normal anatomy, and normal variants of the skeletal system. Next there= is a brief presentation of roentgenometics, followed by topics of congeni= tal, blood, infection, endocrine, and arthritis diseases of bone. This cour= se will be taught using lecture format with a few laboratory sessions. St= udents are encouraged to attend course lectures and laboratory exercises, and= to obtain the best possible seat for viewing the projected images and listening to the instructors’ lectures.  Instructors’ notes from= the slides will be available in the bookstore. In addition outside reading assignments from the required text Clinical Imaging    (other text book options are listed below) are considered essential to student learning.  Material from = the lecture, notes, and reading assignments will be emphasized on course examinations.

·        Laboratory requirements: This course will include cooperative learning sessions = held in our film laboratory located in the basement of the Memorial Building (to the left if you are facing the statues). All students are expected to attend the scheduled laboratory exercises. There are approximately three laboratory sessions during the term. Each will be held during the regularly scheduled class period.

·        Film review sessions: All students are encouraged to attend the daily film review sessions held in the clinical radiology viewing area of the lower le= vel of the clinic building. These sessions are held at 9:30 a.m., noon, and 3:30 p.m. with only a few exceptions.

·     Specific Course Goals and Cou= rse Outcome: The primary goal of this course is to provide the student with:

a.&n= bsp;     a thorough and practical understanding of the common radiographic pathologies of the skeletal system,

b.     skills in film interpretation= , in particular be able to recognize abnormality on imaging studies of bone and related soft tissues,

c.      skills in differential diagno= sis for common pathological presentations on radiographs of bone, joints, and selected soft tissues,

d.&n= bsp;    skills in patient management based on abnormalities noted on the imaging studies.

Upon successful completion of= this course, the student shall be able to:

Affective Competencies (attitude)

A1.      value the necessity of diagnostic studies as they relat= e to the development of an accurate patient profile;

A2.      consider the health and risks to patients when ordering diagnostic imaging studies;

A3.      respect the biomechanical and diagnostic usefulness of radiographic studies in rendering chiropractic care to patients;=

A4.      value practice guidelines in respect to selecting appropriate diagnostic imaging studies;

A5.      recognize the limitations of conventional radiographic studies and the need for specialized diagnostic studies when clinically indicated;

A6.      value the need to document the finding and diagnoses obtained from the radiographic examination.

Cognitive Competencies (knowledge)

K1.       defend the need for diagnostic imaging studies as a component of patient management;

K2.       identify the indications and relative value of diagnost= ic studies;

K3.       differentiate normal from abnormal diagnostic imaging findings;

K4.       identify radiographic presentations of bone and joint abnormalities;

Cognitive Competencies (problem-solving)

K5.       analyze radiographs for clinically significant findings= ;

K6.       integrate diagnostic imaging findings with other compon= ents of the patient examination;

Psychomotor Competencies (skill)

S1.       interpret diagnostic imaging studies.

 

  • Evaluation: <= /b>A student’s course= grade will be based on three course examinations. Each examination will be worth 40 points, summing to 120 points total for the course. Examinations may consist of written questions (i.e., essay, short answer, multiple choice, matching), slid= es, radiographs, pictures, etc. The examination dates will be announced in class at least one week prior to the examination date, approximate dat= es are listed in the table below. Additionally, opportunities for an extr= a 3 credit points (total) is available through class participation exercises.
  • Retake examinations: Students will not be abl= e to sit an examination twice. Re-take examinations are not recognized.
  • Missed examinations: Make-up examinations are reserved for emergencies and extraordinary circumstances. Documentatio= n of those circumstances may be requested at the instructor’s discret= ion. Please plan ahead. Students are permitted to miss only one of the scheduled examinations and should make every effort to contact the instructor prior to the missed examination. Additional missed examinations will result in a grade zero for that examination. If the first or second examination is missed, th= e make-up examination will be given on = Friday June 2nd, 2006 = at 9:15 in room M203 (subject to change). If the final examinatio= n is missed, the make-up examination will be given on= the first Tuesday of the following trimester at 9:15 in room M203.= The format of all make-up examinations is at the discretion of the examiner and will likely include essay, oral, multiple choice, or short answer formats. If you do not= take the make-up examination at the time and date detailed above, you will receive a grade of zero for the examination unless PRIOR arrangements = are made with the instructor. 
  • Grading scale: The following scale wil= l be employed in determining final course grades: 4(A) =3D 89.5 to 100%; 3(= B) =3D 79.5 to 89%; 2(C) =3D 69.5 to 79 %; 8(no credit) =3D less than 70%; 6(incom= plete) =3D failure to complete course work; 10(withdrawal) =3D withdrawal from co= urse. All examinations must be completed to receive a passing grade for this class. The instructors reserve the right to positively adjust examinat= ion or course scores for the entire cohort based on the performance distributions.
