Florida approval: pending
Iowa approval: 6.5 hours in general x-ray Next to the chest x-ray, the abdominal radiograph is one of the most frequently requested images in diagnostic imaging. Radiologic technologists should have a working knowledge of the normal appearance of the abdomen, as well as a basic recognition of common abnormal findings. Abdominal distention, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal traumatic injury are the most common reasons for taking abdominal x-rays. Standard abdominal x-rays can render important clues in evaluating a patient's condition. In this course, hundreds of causes of abdominal pain and injury are shown, with radiographic examples of each. Preview this course before purchasing it.
