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
