This is the study of the general foundations of positioning techniques to obtain radiographic demonstration of anatomical structures of interest as well as specialized
radiographic examinations of upper and lower extremities vertebrae and skull. This includes anatomic and radiographic positioning terms, source image receptor distance and
tube film alignment, positioning principles, radiographic landmarks, exposure techniques, structures demonstrated and evaluation criteria examinations of the different organs.
Course Description Clinical competencies are very essential and are developed through positioning and return demonstration as part of the laboratory activities.
