title: The radiography essentials: an evolutionary perspective.
abstract: A review of all the Radiography Essentials since their inception in 1944 provides an insightful look into the history and dynamics of entry-level educational standards in radiography. As successive Essentials have been revised, more attention has been given to the clinical environment, a broadened and strengthened curricula and due process. Additionally, radiographers have gained greater autonomy in delivering professional entry-level education in radiography.
