Radiology Final

We were presented with a lot of material for radiology. The 2 exams, the final and midterm, had a new format this year. They were fill in the blank. I have no problem with the way that we were tested my issue was the material we were tested on. Our exam asked detailed numbers like the zone of the focal trough being 9-11 mm. The exam again was fair. We were not asked anyting that we had never seen before. I felt that the information that we as dental hygienist need to be familiar with was not even mentioned on the exam, such as the classification of dental caries. We had an entire powerpoint on dental caries and were not asked a single question. Instead we were tested on the specific pathologic diagnosis of soft tissue. I agree it is important that we be familiar with lesions and there location. As we are concluding the semester I have realized that the program focuses on every detail . I have to get used to knowing the details because the details definatley count in dental hygiene.
