• Positioning Skills: EQUIP includes a hands-on positioning course, helping technologists obtain exceptional images.

• Clinical Image Quality: EQUIP helps technologists and radiologists establish and sustain best practices for image quality review, improving and streamlining image quality review, feedback, corrective action, and follow through on corrective action outcomes.
