lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx



from a specific x-ray procedure, the radiographer can
lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx

lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx



responsibility for patient radiation safety.
lx lx lx lx lx


b. So that radiographers and radiologists do not have to accept responsibility for
lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx lx




patient radiation safety. NURSINGTB.COM lx lx
