Antelope Valley College Radiologic Technology students gain hands-on experience with the portable x-ray machine donated by Palmdale Regional Medical Center. [contributed]<\/figcaption><\/figure>LANCASTER \u2013 Palmdale Regional Medical Center has donated a portable X-ray machine to Antelope Valley College for use in the on-campus Radiologic Technology lab.<\/p>\n

This machine is typical of those used in a hospital\u2019s emergency room, intensive care unit, coronary care unit and neonatal intensive care unit. Images are produced immediately and can be transmitted wirelessly via an Internet connection.<\/p>\n

Brad Taylor, Director of Radiology for Palmdale Regional Medical Center, was instrumental in getting the equipment to AVC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was invited to the advisory board meeting where I heard from the instructors of the lack of portable x-ray equipment at the AVC program. As this school is the only radiologic technology school in the Antelope Valley, I felt it was an opportunity to give back and ensure that we continue to have a supply of trained radiology professionals to staff our medical facilities here,\u201d Taylor stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping highly competent health care providers requires access to the best tools available in the profession. This donation is a direct result of AVC\u2019s continued partnership with local hospitals and health care providers,\u201d stated Dr. Karen Cowell, AVC\u2019s Dean of Career Technical Education.<\/p>\n
