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

 ’s”.  The comprehensive program was developed by an ARRT registere
 d and ISCD credentialed densitometrist and includes topics that are re
 flective of the content specifications for the International Society o
 f Clinical Densitometry and the ARRT Registry for Bone Densitometry. T
 his course is designed for all healthcare professionals who are planni
 ng to or are currently performing bone densitometry measurements in ei
 ther clinical practice, women's healthcare or imaging facilities.  **H
 ealthcare professionals who are not registered radiologic technologist
 s should also register for the \"Radiation Safety in Imaging Today\" c
 ourse in order to meet the radiation safety requirements for the Texas

 ocedures\" course which is conducted on Saturday and Sunday.  Course T
