Day #2
RAD-111 - Radiographic Prodecures I
Today’s class continued where yesterday’s left off. The lecture covered some basic principles of patient care in the x-ray environment, including neonatal, infants, toddlers, children, and adults. We also discussed image quality factors, which seemed a little out of place since we haven’t really looked at any real images yet.
We had our first 3-hour lab session today also. We spend about 45 minutes looking at the x-ray machines and learning how they move in relation to the table and the upright position. We spent the rest of our time just experimenting with the movement and then most of us used the leftover time to study, read, and work on whatever else we needed to do.
I think I need to spend some more time reading in the textbooks.
Tomorrow, I have classes and the lab for Rad Intro & Patient Care between 10am and 4pm. I’ll also expect parking issues again tomorrow… we’ll see what happens. I also need to get the paperwork done for clinicals since my first clinical is Thursday. THAT is one part I’m really looking forward to.
