The anatomy of the bones of the skull and face is complex, and it is important to understand these structures in order to obtain optimal radiographic projections. This SIMTICS module teaches you how to prepare for, set up, and obtain radiographs of the skull, cranial and facial bones, and paranasal sinuses. Including both practice and test modes, the online simulator features three different patient scenarios. This module offers students and practitioners the knowledge, cognitive skills and a safe practice environment to perform these procedures accurately, in preparation for working in a clinical setting. If you are studying for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists® (ARRT) registry exams, this module is ideal.
You’ll learn
- to practice, perfect, and test your skills in obtaining X-rays of the skull, cranial and facial bones, and paranasal sinuses
