 CRIPTION:\nFundamentals of Digital Technology\nThe greatest advances i
 n the history of medicine are happening now through the explosion in n
 ew technology and the era of electronic imaging is here! Healthcare is
  now dependent upon electronic recordings such as PACS and the electro
 nic medical record. This course is the \"Readers Digest” version of 
 digital imaging in medicine. The course provides a thorough understand
 ing of CR and DR technology and exposure techniques, plus insight into
  working with PACS, RIS workstations and more…\nObjectives\nAt the c
 onclusion of the course, the learner will be able to:\n• Describe th
