X-Ray and Radiology - Anatomy for X-Ray Specialists (X-Ray and Radiology)

Anatomy for X-Ray Specialists As 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, this course is not a broad introductory course in anatomy. Rather, it makes several assumptions, that you, the reader, already have a general basic knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. This course is designed for instruction in anatomy from the special viewpoint of the x-ray specialist. This course is part of our X-Ray and Radiology series. Includes a questions and answers section at the end of each lesson. Full illustrations and diagrams included. Lessons: - Introduction to Human Anatomy - Regional Osteology - Body Systems Other Than Skeletal
