(2 credits)

This course is an in-depth overview of imaging studies introduced earlier in the physical therapy curriculum. The student will study various imaging technologies such as computerized tomography (CT) scans, medical resonance imaging (MRI), myelograms, and nuclear medicine with a emphasis on plain film radiography. These studies will be related to the cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and reproductive systems with an emphasis on the neuromusculoskeletal system. In turn, these studies will be related to the role of the physical therapist on the health care team and the making of a physical therapy diagnosis. The student will also discuss the advantages and limitations of requesting and using imaging as part of the physical therapy screening and evaluation process. (summer)
