Free Preview & Testimonials
"My lumbar spine x-ray reporting has improved after attending this pathway. I can now report with much confidence rather than just describing usual lumbar spondylosis or degenerative spine."
"Amazing illustrations, approachable lecture style, definitely learned some important details. Thanks for putting this together!"
"The commentary and lessons were great. Very informative and easy to follow. I particularly appreciate comparisons between annotated and unannotated views. It makes spotting the featured characteristics easier to identify."
