The importance of image quality is recognized at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta by radiology leadership. A high standard of image quality is required to assure the radiologist accurate reading of images. This assists the attending physician in making a diagnosis and safety treat the patient. The Children's quality team has developed a system called Z-coding where the radiologist will attach a letter code to their dictation. Some examples of the factors coded are positioning, collimation, shielding, rotation, motion, unacceptable and excellent. This Z-coding system enables us to maintain on-going education for technologists that may need assistance in those areas. In addition, we are able to monitor trends that would indicate areas for improvement. - Susan Freeman RT(R) Education Analyst Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Egelston

The Warlock can be one of the best damage casters in World of Warcraft, but it's also a very complicated class with its damage-over-time (DoT) spells and minions for any occasion. You learn a variety of curses that you will use depending on your situation, and you also gain the ability to send your enemies running away from you in terror. Warlocks can be a difficult class to play, but if you can do it well you will be the envy of all other damage dealers. Most people will despise you in Player vs Player battles.
