RAD 122 Radiographic Pathology and
Medical Terminology
Continues the development of medical terminology word building skills and introduces the concepts of disease. Pathology and disease are discussed as they relate to various radiographic procedures. Appropriate terminology is presented for each body system discussed. Topics include: pathology fundamentals, trauma/physical injury, systemic classification of disease, and medical terminology principles.
