Programme Overview:
Imaging is currently performed by technologists / x-ray operators and radiographers and being interpreted by general practitioners in many medical setup in Malaysia. Many practitioners have had little formal training in the interpretation of images. At some centers, the general practitioners themselves perform the imaging using an x-ray unit. It is very important to produce a radiographic image of acceptable quality, as this will enable the medical practitioner to interpret the image correctly to come to a good diagnosis. This in turn will enable the practitioner to institute treatment, which will benefit the patients.
