Abstract
During initial education for primary pathway certification, radiologic science professionals learn the physics of the electromagnetic spectrum, mass, and energy. They also learn the principles of x-ray production (including requisite background information in general physics), human biology, radiation biology, and radiation protection. This information can be forgotten as time lengthens from initial learning, and reviewing these topics reminds technologists of the basic premise on which the profession is founded.
