As my son played in his skates trying to do his special trick he tripped and hurt his hand.

Most people wonder why we have to take math if they will never use these equations, but math is also teaching them new ways to solve their problems just like they would have to do in their job. Like any new material or equipment they need to get familiar with and this can benefit the radiographer in getting their work done faster. Being in this career they will always have a new machine with better technology coming in that they will need to learn how to use fast and get acquainted with to get their job done. As mentioned in the article of “People with potentially urgent conditions.” they explain how now they use digital plated instead of the cassette x-ray which would take five to fifteen minutes long.
