Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy, (5th ed.), Kenneth L. Bontrager, St. Louis: Mosby Year Book Company (2001). Radiographic Anatomy and Positioning Student Workbook, (5th ed.), Volume 1, Kenneth L. Bontrager, St. Louis: Mosby (1997). Applications Manual for Radiographic Anatomy and Positioning An Integrated Approach by Diane H. Gronefeld and Mary L. Madigan, (1998), Stamford: Appleton and Lange

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is a continuation of Radiographic Positioning I. It includes a study of the osteology, arthrology, and positioning of the thorax, vertebral column, skull, and facial bones. The study of radiological positioning involving trauma and nonstandard procedures will be included.

INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS: The student will: 1. Define various radiographic points, lines and planes. 2. On a line diagram and wig heads, draw and label radiographic points and lines, as assigned. 3. Describe the osteology and arthrology of the bony thorax. 4. Describe the routine and special views of the bony thorax in terms of procedure to be done, structures visualized, and functions demonstrated. 5. Describe the osteology and arthrology of the spinal column.

Describe the routine and special views of the spinal column in terms of procedure to be done, structures visualized, and functions demonstrated. Describe the osteology and arthrology of the skull, facial bones, and paranasal sinuses. Describe the routine and special views of the skull, facial bones, and paranasal sinuses, in terms of procedures to be done, structures visualized, and functions demonstrated. Students are responsible for any material presented in any previous or concurrently enrolled course.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS: Attendance is required at all sessions in each course for which students enroll. When circumstances make attendance impossible, such absences should be reported to the instructor as soon as possible. Messages may be left with the Phase VI secretarial staff. If you leave a message with the Phase VI secretarial staff, be sure you get the name of the person that takes the message. Students are responsible for all work assigned by the instructor. No extensions of the vacation periods are given. Non-attendance of classes due to late registration is considered the same as absences incurred after registration. Students should become familiar with the following attendance policy: 1. After three unexcused absences during one semester, students will be notified that they have reached the established limit for absences, and additional unexcused absences may jeopardize the successful completion of the course. 2. Instructors may, at their discretion, grant excused absences if they feel that students are absent for reasons beyond their control. Examples of excused absences are absences due to participation in CCC sanctioned projects or functions, illnesses, or emergencies. The Vice President of Educational Services may request the Office of Admissions and Records to withdraw students from classes for persistent absences when instructors recommend withdrawal. GRADING POLICY: Assignment: Points: Attendance 5% Homework 5% Pop Quizzes 5% Quizzes 15% Major Exam I 20% Major Exam II 20% Final 30% Total Points Possible 100%

To get full attendance points you need to be in class within five (5) minutes of starting time and return from breaks on time. Homework will consist of labeling the diagrams in the Applications Manual by Gronefeld, answering the study questions and case studies in the Applications Manual by Gronefeld, outlining the anatomy reading assignments, and filling out a practical lab quiz check sheet for each position assigned. These will all be turned in at the beginning of class, checked to see that they are done, and returned to your boxes the same day. They will not be checked for content. Another homework assignment is correcting questions missed on quizzes or exams. This includes finding the correct answer and turning that in as well as your page reference. This needs to be done on a separate sheet of paper. If you had a 100 on the quiz or exam, you will get a 100 for that week for correcting your quiz or exam. Homework will also consist of doing the assigned units in the workbook. The pages will not be graded for content. They will be checked for blanks not filled in. If blanks are not filled in, you will lose points. If all blanks are filled in you will receive a 100 for that unit. The workbooks will be due when you take a major exam. You will also have a wig head to label landmarks on later in the semester. There may be other homework assignments. Five (5) points per weekday are deducted from any homework other than the workbooks turned in late. If you are absent, the homework for the missed class is due the first day you return to campus. Pop quizzes may be given at any time. Circumstances that may prompt a pop quiz are: A. The same student being late repeatedly. B. A number of students being late or absent on the same day. C. Multiple conversations going on at the same time. D. Basically, anything that causes a distraction for classmates that are trying to pay attention. E. Appearing not to be prepared for class. Pop quizzes will be content related and will count in the course grade. If no pop quizzes are given, quizzes will count 25%. Weekly quizzes will be given at the end of each class period. They will generally be short answer, fill in the blank, define, label, etc. The weekly quizzes may cover material from previous weeks as well as the material assigned for that week. They will cover osteology, arthrology and positioning of the assigned topics. Make-up quizzes may be taken. Ten points per week will be deducted for each week it is taken late. If the class period missed is the last one before a school break or the first one after a school break, twenty points will be deducted for the first week. It is the students responsibility to arrange to make up the quiz.

Major Exam I and Major Exam II will each consist of 100 multiple-choice questions. Major Exam I will cover any material covered from this day to that day. Major Exam II will cover any material covered after Major Exam I. The Final Examination will consist of 200 multiple-choice questions. It will cover any material covered this semester. Major and Final exams may be made up if the exam is missed for the following reasons: 1. Death in the family. 2. Illness (of student or child) with a doctor's note. 3. Hospitalization of self or immediate family. Other circumstances will be considered on an individual basis. Major and Final exams may be made up. Ten points will be deducted for each week it is taken late. If the class period missed is the last one before a school break or the first one after a school break, twenty points will be deducted for the first week. It is the students responsibility to arrange to make up the quiz. Ten (10) points are deducted from any assignment or exam beginning with the second time a student turns a paper in without his/her name on it. If you feel an item or items have been misgraded, you need to turn in a paper with the paper that the mistake was made on stating the item or items misgraded and why you think your answer was correct (with the necessary references identified). You need to do this along with your quiz corrections.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Students are responsible for achieving academic and course goals and objectives as prescribed by their instructors and for demonstrating attainment in an honest manner. Failure to do so may result in either grade change and/or disciplinary action. Misrepresentation of knowledge can influence a course grade or determination of satisfactory fulfillment of an academic requirement. Cheating, plagiarism, or other acts of academic dishonesty compromise the integrity of the academic process and community and are subject to disciplinary action.
