This module provides an overview of radiography of the central nervous system, circulatory system, as well as arthrography. These procedures include myelography, angiography, venography and arthrography of the synovial joint. The module offers students and practitioners thorough background knowledge in how to prepare for and perform these procedures. If you are studying for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists® (ARRT) registry exams, this module is an ideal learning resource.
You’ll learn
- how to differentiate the role of a radiologist and radiographic technologist in conducting these imaging procedures
- to better visualize and understand the anatomy of the central nervous system, cardiovascular system and major blood vessels, with our 3D anatomical model
- what room and equipment preparation is required
- the steps and techniques for acquiring radiographic projections of the CNS and circulatory systems, including myelography, angiography, aortography, cardiac catheterization, venography and arthrography
- to identify the indications and contraindications for performing radiography of the central nervous system, circulatory system and arthrography
- how to analyze radiographs for quality and correct positioning criteria
- how to manage an anaphylactic reaction
- much more (see “content details” for more specific information)
