Cross-Sectional & Multi-Modality
Modern radiography goes beyond plain film. We introduce the logic of cross-sectional anatomy (viewing the body in slices) essential for CT and MRI. We also explore how anatomy presents differently in Ultrasound and Nuclear Medicine, preparing you for advanced modality questions in the 2nd Professional Exams.
