Sectional and Radiological Anatomy of a Thorax

"This is an interactive tutorial that serves as an introduction to normal x-rays and cross-sections of the thorax for preclinical students enrolled in medical and dental human structure. The courseware was digitized and converted into Adobe Flash to provide beginners with introductory imaging that is critical to the interpretation of standard X-rays and CT- and MRI-scans.
