Anomalies and Anatomic Variants of the Liver
Simon Jackson
0.25 Hours
During this session you will learn about the different anatomical variants and anomalies of the liver using a range of interactive exercises. A knowledge of the topic is important as these variants are commonly misinterpreted during routine imaging studies and may simulate pathology.

The mechanisms of a....
Biological Effects of Radiation Exposure on the Embryo, Fetus and Infant
Colin Martin
0.50 Hours
Tissues in the developing embryo and fetus contain many proliferating cells, and are more susceptible to radiation damage. The potential effects vary with the stage of fetal development, but growth retardation, involving brain development, can occur at higher doses. In addition, there appears to be an increased risk of childhood....
Practical Use of X-ray Sets
Chris Taylor
0.50 Hours
This session builds on the knowledge you have gained about the production of x-rays and the design of x-ray equipment. It covers the practical operation of x-ray sets in order to produce good quality images, minimise radiation dose to the patient and prevent damage to equipment.
