COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to focus on the characteristics and manifestations of diseases caused by
alterations or injury to the structure and/or function of the human body. Concepts basic to
pathophysiology as well as common disease conditions are studied to facilitate image correlation
with these pathologies observed through diagnostic imaging. Distinguishing between additive
pathologies, destructive pathologies, and how to adjust the exposure factors for optimum
visualization of common disease conditions will be included in class discussions.

STUDENT EVALUATION & GRADING:
Assignments, quizzes, presentations, tests: 75% of total grade
Final test:
25% of total grade
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total:
100%
Grading Scale:
93 - 100 = A
85 - 92 = B
75 - 84 = C
0 - 74 = F
All students must pass each of their Radiologic Sciences prefix courses (RAD) with a grade of
“C” or better in order to satisfy Program requirements, to graduate, and to pass the National
Board Exam in Radiography. This grade of “C” or better is based upon the Radiologic Sciences
grading scale.
Any student that fails a Radiologic Sciences course will not continue in our Program. When
course failure occurs, the student will meet with the appropriate faculty member and academic
advisor to discuss the student’s future educational goals. This discussion may include referring
the student to the University Career Services office (www.siu.edu/~ucs; Woody Hall B 204; Ph:
618-453-2391) for testing via the “Strong Interest Inventory” to identify the academic majors
that best fit the student’s personality, values, interests, and skills.
Evaluation and Point Value of Written Assignments:
 Assignments earning an “A” grade will be of excellent quality, reflecting critical
thinking, creativity and mastery of course material. They will be well organized and
clear. They will be free of errors in syntax, grammar and format and will be typed. The
standard percentile rank for an “A” grade is 93-100.
 Assignments earning a “B” will be of good quality, reflecting a solid grasp of course
material. They will be well organized, but may contain some errors in syntax, grammar
and format. They may be handwritten. The standard percentile range for a “B” grade is
85-92.
 Assignments earning a “C” will be of acceptable quality, reflecting familiarity with
course material. They may be weak in syntax, grammar or formatting. The standard
percentile range for a “C” is 77-84.
 Assignments earning a “D” will be of barely acceptable quality, they will contain
weakness in syntax, grammar and formatting. They will be almost unacceptable,
reflecting little understanding of course materials. The standard percentile range for a
“D” is 70-76.
 Assignments earning an “F” grade will be of unacceptable quality. They will reflect little
or no understanding of the course material. They may contain grievous errors in syntax,
grammar and formatting. Any percentage below 70 will be considered failing.

ADA Accommodations:
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act,
educators and students have both rights and responsibilities. It should be the mutual goal of the
student and university to maximize the likelihood that students with disabilities succeed.
Accommodation sometimes is necessary.
If you think you have a learning disability, or know you have a disability but have not been
tested, then please contact SIUC Disability Support Services (618-453-5738) for an appointment
for the evaluation of your learning disability.
Once you have been diagnosed as having a learning disability, we, the faculty of the Radiologic
Sciences Program, strongly encourage you to tell us what type of learning disability and what
type of accommodation is needed to help you succeed in our Program. If you do not notify us
(prior to the end of the first week of the semester) that you have a disability, and you do not
request accommodation during this course, then you accept full responsibility for your own
success or failure in this course. Ultimately, YOU are responsible for your own success or
failure, and the resulting consequences.
ATTENDANCE:
Please note:
1. Due to the frequently graphic content presented in this course, bringing infants
and/or children to class is strongly discouraged!
2. Blogging, Tweeting, texting, sexting and all other electronic communications
during class time is prohibited.
3. Please turn off all cell phones/smart phones, MP3 players, PDAs, iPads, Kindlelike devices, headsets, pagers, beepers, all other personal communication devices,
and remove all types of earbuds/earphones.
4. If it’s necessary to be in constant communication with your children, their
school, business associates, spouse, friends, etc., then now is not the right time
for you to be in our RADS Program!
A record of daily attendance will be kept. Attendance is mandatory for this course. Habitual
tardiness to class will result in points being deducted from the final grade. Each late arrival or
absence will result in 0.5 point, daily deduction from the student’s semester grade.
Any student that misses class is responsible for the material covered.
Whenever it is possible, advance notice of absence is appreciated. An email message is
generally adequate. If you are unable to contact me prior to class, please do so as soon as
possible.
Missed Quizzes/Exams: If absences occur on days when quizzes/exams are scheduled the
ability to make up the quiz/exam will lie solely with the instructor. No guarantee is made, nor
given, about the possibility of making up missed examinations. The opportunity of make up a
missed quiz/exam will be given only in extreme circumstances. These include but are not limited
to family death, grave illness, etc…. I must be notified in advance of your absence for a make-up
quiz/exam to be given. Quizzes may not be announced.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
Southern Illinois University Carbondale is committed to providing a safe and healthy
environment for study and work. Because some health and safety circumstances are beyond our
control, we ask that you become familiar with the SIUC Emergency Response Plan and Building
Emergency Response Team (BERT) program. Emergency response information is available on
posters in buildings on Campus, available on the BERT website (www.bert.siu.edu), the
Department of Public Safety’s website (www.dps.siu.edu; disaster drop down) and in the
Emergency Response Guidelines pamphlet, “Know how to respond to each type of emergency”.
Instructors will provide guidance and direction to students in the classroom in the event of an
emergency affecting your location. It is imperative that you follow these instructions and stay
with your instructor during an evacuation of sheltering emergency. The Building Emergency
Response Team (BERT) will provide assistance to your instructor in evacuating the building or
sheltering within the facility.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Readings:
Students are required to keep current on the weekly reading assignments as outlined
in the course schedule. Changes in the course schedule will be announced in class.
Chapter Terms and Objectives (100 pts each):
Students will define all key terms listed at the beginning of each text chapter as well as
completely answer the specified objectives for each chapter. These are to be typed using a 12
point font and submitted via assignment drop box in SIU Online, no later than 10:00am
(class time) on the date due. These assignments can be submitted early. However, late
assignments will be subject to a 10 point grade deduction for each day late. All assignments must
be submitted to receive a grade for the course. Failure to submit all assignments will result in an
incomplete for the course and the student will not be allowed to advance in the program.
Pathology Presentations (100 pts each):
Each student will be required to research and report various pathologies during the course of the
semester. The pathologies will be randomly assigned; therefore, the due dates will vary.
Reports must include the following information:
 disease name(s)
 classification
 etiology
 signs and symptoms
 general information
 radiographic presentation
RAD 312 Rad Pathology
5
January 2015
 diagnosis
 treatment
 prognosis
Presentations will be given orally in class, at the time appropriate to the chapter and disease
being discussed. Be prepared to discuss and answer any questions posed by the instructor or the
class.
Students will also prepare and print a concise, well-organized, single-page, one sided, typed
summary to be handed out to the instructor and each classmate at the time of the presentation.
Students are encouraged to create a pathology binder from the handouts in order to help prepare
for the ARRT examination. I do not need a copy of your presentation script; only the handout
given to the class.
Each presentation must also include AT LEAST two images which clearly identify the
pathology being presented. The computer will be available for PowerPoint presentations, flash
drives, links to images, etc.
Points (100 pts each) will be assigned based on the delivery, content, images, handout, and
ability to answer questions about the topic. PowerPoint's may be used for the presentations, but
are not required.
