Blessing-Rieman is currently obtaining more clinical sites to serve the increase interest in our program. Students may travel up to miles to various clinical sites. Program Missions, Goals, and Outcomes Program Mission: The mission of the College's Radiologic Sciences Program is to prepare all students for entering the profession by providing the opportunity and resources to achieve their maximum potential both academically and clinically.

Learning Outcomes: 1. Students will practice appropriate radiation safety. Students will select proper technical factors. Goal 2: Students will utilize problem solving and critical thinking skills. Students will adjust standard procedures for non-routine patients. Students will adjust equipment to yield diagnostic images.

Goal 3: Students will demonstrate effective communication with patients, peers, and others in the medical profession. Students will demonstrate effective oral communication skills.

Our imaging staff members are all licensed technologists. Clinical Radiologists, SC provides on-site interpretative services and diagnostic procedures. All radiologists are board certified by the American College of Radiology.

Blessing Hospital Radiology Department. Illini Community Hospital Diagnostic Services. Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI provides images of internal organs, blood vessels, muscles, joints, tumors, areas of infection, and more—without using any radiation.

The excellent quality of MRI images provides early detection of many conditions so treatment can be more effective. It can be used to look for issues such as internal bleeding; tumors; infection; blockage; or injury in the brain, organs and glands, blood vessels, and joints.

In many cases, MRI gives different information about structures in the body than can be seen with an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography CT scan. Full-Body MRI: Our patient-friendly suite features natural light from two large windows and a spacious setting designed to put you at ease. We can examine the arm—including elbow, wrist, or hand—or the leg—including knee, ankle, or foot. Radiography and Fluoroscopy X-ray are forms of radiation that make images of bones and internal organs.

Fluoroscopy uses a continuous or pulsed X-ray beam to create moving images of working body structures. Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images of the inside of your body.

It is often used to help diagnose the cause of pain, swelling, or infection in internal organs or to examine a baby in utero or the brains and hips of infants. Doctors also use the technology to guide biopsies, diagnose heart conditions, or make assessments after a heart attack.

Ultrasound is safe, noninvasive, and does not use ionizing radiation. Computed Axial Tomography CT Scan is an X-ray technique that produces more detailed images of internal organs or bones than conventional X-ray.

During the exam, a patient will lie on a table that is attached to the CT scanner, which is a large doughnut-shaped machine. The CT scanner sends X-rays through the body area that is being studied. In some cases, a contrast dye may be used.

The contrast or dye makes structures and organs easier to see on the CT images. Some exams require IV contrast and oral contrast.

CT scans are used to evaluate all parts of the body, including organs, bones, blood vessels, and the spinal cord.
