MRIT 113 - MRI Clinical Practice and Patient Management I
PREREQUISITES: Certification and Registration with the ARRT in Radiography, Nuclear Medicine (registration through NMTCB is also accepted), Radiation Therapy, or Sonography (registration through ARDMS is also accepted) and Program Chair Approval
PROGRAM: Medical Imaging
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
CLINICAL APPLICATION HOURS MIN: 15
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2021
Content is presented as a progression in competency levels through clinical performance objectives and competency exams. Students can access the educational materials, examination facilities and personnel necessary to competently achieve content objectives. Objectives include demonstration and observation of an activity, after which the student assists in performing the activity. When a satisfactory degree of proficiency is apparent, the student can perform the activity under direct supervision. When both the student and instructor are satisfied with the student’s proficiency, the student performs MR imaging procedures under indirect supervision to gain experience and expertise.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student is expected to:
- Employ the code of ethics and professional behaviors.
- Demonstrate professional communication with patients, staff members and the general public.
- Demonstrate cultural competences.
- Describe the role of health care team members.
- Demonstrate proper scheduling and sequencing of imaging procedures.
- Correlate the requested imaging procedure with clinical history and reported physical examination findings.
- Demonstrate proper suite and equipment preparation.
- Demonstrate patient assessment (e.g., screening, monitoring, etc.).
- Demonstrate effective education to patients, family members and other health care professionals.
- Demonstrate charting and documentation.
- Employ infection control precautions to prevent disease transmission.
- Employ safe cleaning of equipment and disposal of contaminated materials.
- Describe communicable disease terminology and required transmission-based precautions.
- Evaluate and respond to medical emergencies.
- Differentiate the functions of tubes, catheters, lines and infusion devices.
- Examine pre-procedural considerations.
- Employ proper setup of patient positioning, MR coils, equipment, table accessories and cushioning.
- Apply national, organizational and departmental standards, protocols, policies and procedures regarding MR imaging and patient care.
- Demonstrate image quality analysis.
- Demonstrate storage and dissemination of images.
- Explain the environmental considerations (e.g., gauss lines, radiofrequency (RF) shielding and magnetic shielding, etc.).
