“…Mutual deciding could be suggestive in mandatory introductory RC when covering the use of imaging modalities, e.g. chest radiographs and CT scans to detect pneumothorax, or projection radiography as the most frequent radiological procedure in intensive care (Schülke et al, 2011), CT scans to identify bone tumors, MRI to show nerve damage, contrast enhancement in PET or CT scans to detect lymph nodes, which are frequently unclear in formation and density (Buerke et al, 2010). Basics in medical physics show interfaces e.g.…”
