MIT218L Fluoroscopic & Digital Imaging Systems LAB

This course is designed to heighten the student's awareness of fluoroscopic systems. The students are provided with an opportunity to operate and isolate malfunctions using some of today's state-of-the-art medical equipment and tools. With guidance from the instructor, the students are given an opportunity to develop their own troubleshooting and fault isolation plan. Students are introduced to basic digital imaging systems including angiographic, cardiac, CT, and MRI. Discussion is also given to medical equipment network principles including infrastructure and connectivity, hardware and software, and integrating new medical equipment technologies into existing medical facility computer networks. Radiation safety and federal regulations are continuously reinforced during a combination of lectures, demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on labs are used to reinforce student knowledge and skills.
