My name is Marathon, I am in the Radiodiagnostic Technology program I find this program while browsing on the internet. For those who are sensitive, this program may affect you emotionally, because of the images you will have to analyze. In this program we need to use new words and terms. I made a glossary for new students In this field. You will hear many words in this program but I only 20 words that came usually. To define those words I use the internet, the dictionary, the notes taking from classes, and I put some images for those who are more visual. I want you to read and integrate those words in your vocabulary.
