and deals with radiation treatments. I want to be a Radiologist because I love to help and care for people. I wish to specialize in Radiation Oncology, Nuclear Radiology, Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology, Head and Neck Radiology, Breast Imaging, Cardiovascular Radiology, Chest Radiology, or Emergency Radiology (“Professions in Diagnostic Radiology” 1). I am fascinated by the human heart, brain, nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and cancers of the human body. Most of what I wish
Technician can X-ray different parts of the body such as the kidneys, stomach, and to see what the sex of the baby. There are different types of Technicians, such as Sonography uses sound waves to move images. Radiology Technicians perform diagnostic imaging exams and administer radiation therapy treatments. Ultrasound Technicians is commonly used to obstetrics, but it can also diagnose
you get to help others in their steps of recovery. You have to diagnose a problem and consult to the doctor about your findings and then the doctor decides a treatment plan. Radiology is a very simple, yet complex job. A radiologist must use the imaging equipment which requires you to know how they operate and how to use them. They must also learn how to get good angles or good positions with the equipment so the pictures will turn our clear, readable and aimed at the desired location. In order to
The Effect of a PACS on Patient Radiation Doses and Operating Costs in a Radiology Department: A Practical Study PACS is a standard for Picture Archiving and Communication System. PACS have been used for more than two decade ago. PACS used to convert radiology departments to become a digital instates of using a printed radiology films which we can save and transfer images through network system. PACS system has to be contented to the all the hospital system like HIS and RIS. PACS work by receiving
Medical Imaging has been around for more than 30 years and it is already advancing in its field. The way it’s advancing is pretty mind-blowing considering all the things it achieves. There are 8 medical imaging methods that have astounded the world, yet we shrug it off whenever they’re mentioned. X-rays are probably the world’s most known medical imaging technology. It’s been seen in movies, T.V, mentioned in books, and comics, but no one really knows much about it. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation
insight into the role of the radiographers and helped me develop a keen interest in this field. The visit included observations of the X-rays in different rooms and departments within radiology such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and A&E
Radiology is one of the fastest growing professions in the medical field. These professionals can be found in hospitals, clinics, private doctors' offices and diagnostic imaging centers and as a career is constantly growing. People thinking about a career in radiology can train like a radiology technician, a radiologic technologist, a radiation therapist or perhaps a radiologist. The difference between a technician and a technologist is that a technician's training is generally limited in scope while
are some disadvantages there such as low magnification, distortion of geometry and not good representation of 3D structures. The usage of tomographic imaging enables the correct representation of anatomical structures and their relationship which adjacent tissues.(Cotton, Geisler et al. ; Patel and Dawood 2007) The consequences of radiographic imaging such as risk for misdiagnosis, failure of diagnosis and exposure to ionizing radiation must be taken into consideration and accept that conventional
Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair Van Chung Williams Health Sciences Academy Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is a condition in which the mitral valve within the heart does not close securely which in turn allows blood to flow backwards into the heart. Consequently, this causes fatigue as the blood cannot be transported to the remaining location within the body efficiently. The treatment for MR depends on the severity of said condition. In this particular
scans provide the most detailed images of blood vessels and tissue while also being the safest way. MRIs do not expose the patient to ionizing radiation. MRI techs a required to have a very well rounded and complete understanding of the diagnostic imaging machines they operate. It is also crucial for the MRI techs to have good bed side manner and compassion for the patients they are working with. Some scans can take a total of 90 minutes and they require a patient to lay completely still. If the patients
