Customer Reviews
“I liked the format of the reading material…and how it went along with the answers. I had to read the information in order to answer the questions. This course was a great review of my previous knowledge but it also provided updates on all aspects of positioning, shielding, and digital radiography.”~Susan K. 12/2019
“Been out of regular x-ray for some years, It is valuable too for remembering needed positions & laws of radiation. Woke me up! Thanks.”~Michael 10/01/18
Course Description
Spine radiography is one of the most fundamental aspects of a radiologic technologist’s job. Whether assessing injury or disease, spine radiography has a wide range of indications and applications. This course reviews basic spinal anatomy, radiologic landmarks, technical and exposure factors, and patient care principles. Basic and selected special positions and projections of the spine are covered in detail with positioning illustrations and image evaluation criteria. This course also covers bone and spinal cord diseases and injuries and provides an integral review of radiation protection principles.
This course is based on the book Spine Anatomy, Positioning, and Diseases for Radiographers, by Jeana Fleitz, M.Ed., RT(R)(M)(ARRT)™. The book/PDF is 219 pages long and 8.5 x 11 inches in size. This book has 12 pt font and 1.5 line spacing.
The test has 128 multiple choice and true/false questions.
