 ensitometry is a very hot topic. It is proving to be a key tool in the

 s course is designed for all healthcare professionals who are planning
  to or are currently performing bone densitometry measurements in eith
 er clinical practice, women's healthcare or imaging facilities. **Heal
 thcare professionals who are not registered radiologic technologists s
 hould also register for the \"Radiation Safety in Imaging Today\" cour
 se in order to meet the radiation safety requirements for the Texas De
