Tackling RAD LAB--one x-ray at a time...

I made it through my second radiology lab, and I loved it!! Having only worked in an orthodontic setting, my exposure (haha--no pun intended) to radiography has been very limited... They did take pano's in the office i worked in, but only one assistant was "trained," if you will, in taking the x-rays, so needless to say, I'm a dummy when it comes to radiographs.... BUT thanks to the wonderful professor McConaughy, I can now take horizontal and vertical bitewings :) haha... for most of the girls, BWX's are no big deal--they've been taking them since birth! But for me, it feels great to have learned the concepts, and put them to work in the "rad" lab (and it is rad for sure...)



**And no, this is not a patient of mine... I just thought he was a little cutie... and his face is classic!


Anyway, my third week of hygiene school is going SO well! I love it, and doing my homework is far from a chore because I'm so interested in everything being taught! I'm definitely in the right place, and I'm excited to keep on, keepin' on!
