This module demonstrates how to set up for and obtain X-rays of the abdomen and pelvis. The online simulator features three different patient scenarios requiring radiographic imaging of the abdomen and pelvis. Including both practice and test modes, it 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. This module is ideal if you are studying for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists® (ARRT) registry exams.
