Anatomy for X-Ray SpecialistsAs an x-ray specialist (technologist), you need to have a good understanding of human anatomy, especially as it relates to identifying anatomical landmarks, positioning a patient correctly and comfortably, for the making of radiographic exposures.Many structures of the body are radiopaque (impenetrable by x-ray). Others can be made so. These are the structures that are of primary interest, and the area of primary emphasis in this course. Thus, t...

Principles of Radiographic ExposureMuch improvement in radiographic equipment and materials has been made since diagnostic radiography made its entrance on the medical scene at the close of the nineteenth century. Effort is continually being made to standardize procedures and techniques, yet a great deal of both art and judgment are still needed.This course discusses the many factors and principles involved in projecting a latent image onto the x-ray film which, when develo...
