A lab technician needs to know about operating an X-ray machine and the Rectifiers, Transformers, and Circuits. Over the past weeks, we have learned a lot about the X-ray machine and how to read the results and decipher what is affecting the patient. Get to review what you understood by taking this quiz. All the best and read more about what you get wrong!
