This self-paced course explores the physiologic concept of oxygenation, including how it is achieved in the body through respiration, ventilation and perfusion as well as how to measure it effectively with pulse oximetry (SpO2) and end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring. Check-Your-Knowledge questions and clinical-based scenarios

Breast cancer is very complex, and in order to fully grasp this disease, you need to understand grading, staging, and the genetic factors that go into determining who is at risk for developing breast cancer. Dr. Michael Linver, from X-Ray Associates in Albuquerque, New Mexico, presents a comprehensive explanation of breast cancer diagn

CT has become more useful for evaluation of functional or physiological processes. The fine detail and image creation options, coupled with fusion and bioimaging initiatives, have opened an entire new approach to diagnostic imaging. What is all this and how is it applied? What are the diseases for which functional imaging is useful? Fi

This program covers novel reconstruction and processing methods that are used to improve image quality and lower the dose to the patient. By the end of this program, the participant should be able to: 1. Differentiate between several different iterative reconstruction methods. 2. Discuss the advantages of dynamic CT angiography/perfusi

The ability to read and interpret radiographs is an important aspect of critical care practice and can often help expedite appropriate intervention. More than two billion x-rays are taken around the world each year. On a regular basis, nurses care for patients who undergo this common procedure. By the end of this program, the particip

The first segment of this program explains the components of X-ray production and the second segment examines the factors that influence the biological response to ionizing radiation in both diseased and healthy tissues. After completing this program, you should be able to:   1. Compare bremsstrahlung and characteristic radiation

X-Ray technicians, also known as radiologic technicians, produce X-ray images of different parts of the body. They introduce non-radioactive substances into the bloodstream of patients to aid in the diagnosis of specific conditions.

What separates a highly skilled X-ray technician from an average one is the knowledge to eliminate the blemishes in the radiograph that may hinder a true diagnosis.  This course will train you to review the various forms of artifacts caused by the defects in X-ray tube and receptor, defects that are patient related or related to p

In day-to-day radiology, there are certain anatomy-related terms that you will come across that are very important, especially when it comes to positioning the patient or communicating about the site of the lesion with the concerned doctor. After completing this course, you will be able to:  • identify important anatomical la
