Don't Diseases Just Make You Sick?

You will gain surprising insights to imaging the human body from understanding the development from conception to birth and beyond.

Finish the lesson with a comparison of the radiation exposures and protection techniques for both adults and children. You will experience a positive change in your radiographic approach for both these target patients.
