View on provider's websiteThe Computed Tomography Technology curriculum prepares students to use specialized equipment to visualize cross-sectional anatomical structures and aid physicians in the demonstration of pathologies and disease processes. Individuals entering this curriculum must be registered or registryeligible by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in radiography, radiation therapy, or nuclear medicine technology. Nuclear medicine technology applicants may also be registered or registry eligible by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB).
Course work prepares the technologist to provide patient care and perform studies utilizing imaging equipment, professional communication, and quality assurance in scheduled and emergency procedures through academic and clinical studies.
Graduates may be eligible to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist Advanced-Level testing in Computed Tomography. They may find employment in facilities which perform these imaging procedures. ECC is approved by the North Carolina Community College System to offer the Computed Tomography Technology Curriculum.
View on provider's websiteThe radiography program is made up of two components. A Didactic component, where students spend time in the classroom setting learning about the field of Diagnostic Imaging. There are three full-time & one part-time, well qualified and experienced faculty members who impart the knowledge and skills necessary for students to function in the workplace. The class sizes are small to allow for student interaction and class participation. Students, besides classroom work spend a significant amount of time in the energized laboratory at South Campus. Structured lab times and practice times are designed to enhance the learning experience.
The second component of the program is the Clinical component. This is where the student gains his/her hands on experience by working in the various clinical settings. Students are assigned to the various clinical sites based on student needs and availability of clinical space. During the clinical experience, students are exposed to a variety of facilities ranging from small, rural hospitals, to outpatient facilities, to state-of-the-art departments. Students are also exposed to various imaging modalities and can therefore better determine the area of work that is most appealing to them.
The VGCC Radiography program extends the opportunity for students to obtain experience in a variety of different clinical sites. The program currently has agreements with sixteen (16) clinical affiliates, which includes hospital, orthopedic, and outpatient facilities in the surrounding counties and the triangle. Some affiliates require more strenuous student clearance standards, such as two-step TB skin tests, 12-panel drug screens, criminal background checks, and fingerprinting. In accordance with the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) standards for fair and equitable learning opportunities and to gain experience specifically in trauma radiography, each student will complete a first and second, or third shift rotation during the 21 month program. VGCC strives to produce entry-level well rounded students who are prepared for the job market upon graduation.
View on provider's websiteHistotechnology is a clinical laboratory specialty related to Histology, a division of anatomy dealing with the microscopic evaluation, composition and function of normal and abnormal tissues. Histologic techniques have been recorded in history as early as the 1600s, with Robert Hooke observing thin slices of cork under the microscope in 1664 and Leeuwenhoek looking at thin sections of biologicals and botanicals in 1670. These events paved the pathway to what has become an important and exciting medical laboratory discipline.
A variety of chemicals and dyes are used to prepare histology specimens and a histologist is trained in their composition and reactivity. With combined chemical and anatomy knowledge, the histologist treats tissue samples to produce a color palate, distinguishing tissue structures. The histologist operates and maintains several pieces of equipment in the preparation of tissue sections for microscopic evaluation and diagnosis.
