    this course is very simple is perfect if want to get a start on the argument and know a bit of the basic and the level of the language is low, so it's perfect even if english isn't your first language and the slides on the video really helps with to form an idea of what he is talking about, and there a lot of examples of answer to the question of why you do something the repart of radiology.

    "Introduction to Radiology: Conventional Radiography" is an excellent foundational course for me .the curriculum provides a clear and structured overview of fundamental imaging principles .Covers X-ray physics, image acquisition, and patient positioning .the five basic radiographic densities. Uses case examples to enhance the identification of anatomical landmarks and common pathologies like fractures.

    Conventional Radiography course offers a clear and structured overview of fundamental imaging principles. It effectively covers key topics such as X-ray physics, image acquisition, positioning, and safety protocols. The visuals and case examples enhance understanding of anatomical landmarks and pathology identification. The content is suitable for beginners and supports foundational learning for students entering the field. However, adding more interactive elements or hands-on demonstrations could improve engagement. Overall, it's a valuable course that builds a strong base in conventional radiographic techniques, making it a great starting point for aspiring radiology professionals.
