It's a great pleasure to me to establish this glossary for every one that desires to find out the usefulness of paramedic technologies.
I'm Jean Kelly Leclerc D Haiti. I have been beginning my studies in Radio Diagnostic imaging since autumn 2023. I'm convinced that's my right vocational career.
Before the discovery of these technologies, medicine was blind. Thanks to them, medicine is very advanced. The diagnostic of the pathologies is almost 100% exact and patients are treated with an efficacy flawless. The Radio Diagnostic Imaging is the eyes of the modern medicine.
Every term of this glossary comes from imaging department of Ahuntsic College and scientific articles.
Follow me and let me know if you need help.
