Long Island University - C.W. Post Campus

Provides an introduction to the factors that govern and influence the production of a medical image on radiographic film. The principles of medical imaging to be discussed include: latent image, factors governing image quality, beam limiting devices, beam filtration, film holders, screens and technique formation.

Provides knowledge of radiation protection and radiation biology as related to the legal and ethical responsibilities of the radiographer. Reviews Regulatory Agencies and their requirements. Identifies biological effect and response to radiation on patients, personnel, and the public.

Designed to proved the basic concepts of the physical and emotional needs of the patient. Describes routine and emergency procedures, insertions and maintenance of an intravenous line. As well as infection control utilizing universal precautions and recognition and treatment of reactions to contrast media. Educate student in obtaining vital signs and contrast media injection. Identifies the importance of patient education. Includes medical ethics, law and cultural differences.

Designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to perform standard medical imaging procedures of the chest, abdomen, upper and lower extremities. The production of images of optimal diagnostic quality will be stressed. Laboratory experience utilizing a phantom patient will be used to complement the classroom portion of the course. The student will produce a portfolio of medical images.

This document will cover topics that range from the central (brain & spinal cord) & peripheral (somatic & autonomic - sympathetic & parasympathetic) nervous systems, the primary brain divisions (prosencephalon, mesencephalon, rhombencephalon), hypothalamus & thalamus, internal capsule, basal ganglia, dopamine, parkinson's, huntington's, ascending & descending pathways, meninges.

This review sheet covers everything from the beginning of the semester to the midpoint (Lectures 1-5). The information will be based on the overview of phonological & articulation disorders, a brief overview of speech anatomy, the developmental theory (emergence of consonants & vowels), more theoretical foundations of speech sound development, and the assessment & appraisal of phonological disorders.

Class notes cover neuronal potential, action potential, intercellular communication, electrical & chemical activity of neurons, and more information on neurotransmitters. Images to go along with notes as well.

This is an extensive study guide for our final exam of biological bases of behavior in our psyd coursework at LIU Post.
