Whether or not it is reasonable to expect this group to be able to correctly interpret X-Rays, they often are expected to do so. The use of line drawings to explain the X-Ray appearanceis a central aspect in the identification of important features. The contribution of a professional artist to this book greatly assists in producing rapid understanding of the individual X-Ray.
