General Radiology II - (GRDC-612) (MIT): Course Content

General radiology, also known as diagnostic radiology or plain film radiography, is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create images of the body's internal structures. These images, also called radiographs, are used to detect abnormalities.
