an associate’s degree or a two or four-year educational program. “An associate’s degree is the most common educational path for radiologic technologist” (Occupational Outlook Handbook). Radiologic technologist must attend a college that offers a radiology program or attend a two to four year accredited hospital program. Radiologic technologist performs many lifesaving procedures and the correct schooling helps them save lives every day. They also have to have correct bed side manner if they need…

body or the room. Both ACR (American College of Radiology) and ASRT (American Society of Radiologic Technologists) agree that benefits of x-rays exceed the risks. X-rays remain the easiest and simplest method to diagnose bone disease and dental…

High school classes is where to start. For radiology the classes start in ninth grade. Some people might think well you have no idea what you want to do in ninth grade. Well that might be true for some people but not for me, I know what I want I am going to start preparing for it, starting with the…

The increased use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has contributed to the rising cost of imaging expenses. The availability of technology, the increased demand for patients and doctor, and advanced technology are factors that have contributed to the increase. Hypothesis: The increased use and availability in MRI imaging has increased the cost in MRI imaging procedures by approximately 33 percent from 2011 to 2013. In an attempt to identify the connection between increased use of MRI…

There are volumes that do specialise in discussing medical museums which include more human tissue, as opposed to other human remains that a wide variety of history and archaeological collections hold. Many of these important texts are written by Dr. Samuel Alberti, who once was the Director of Museums and Archives at the Royal College of Surgeons and currently works at the National Museums of Scotland (NMS). These texts, such as Samuel Alberti’s “Morbid Curiosities: Medical Museums in…

Radiography is the process of producing x-ray pictures, also known as RADIOGRAPHS. X-rays were discovered on November 8, 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in Germany at the University of Wurzburg. Radiographs are produced through the use of radiation. There are three different types of radiation. These include PRIMARY RADIATION, REMNANT RADIATION, and SCATTER RADIATION. Primary is the radiation that leaves the tube, remnant is the “exit radiation” that passes through the image receptor, and…

MRI is a unique medical practice among other imaging methods because, unlike radiographs for example x-rays and ct scans and even radioisotope studies it does not use ionising radiation to create an image of the body this is good because if it does not use ionising radiation it will not have the effects that the radiation causes to the human body. But instead of using other means such as ultrasound to create an image it uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed digital images of the…

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Ultrasonography is an excellent modality for examining abdominal structures including the location and dimensions of canine kidneys (Remichi et al., 2014). It involves a non-invasive procedure for examination of kidney diseases (Sampaio and Araujo, 2002) and offers advantages over radiography as there are no side effects of radiation and contrast agents (Nyland et al., 1995). Canine kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal region of the…

I first became acquainted with the occupation of radiologic technology in high school when I had the opportunity to participate in job shadowing. I immediately chose radiologic technology as one of my first choices. I chose it because, like so many other students in my class, I had never experienced getting an x-ray or any other type of radiation modality growing up. I became interested in the science and anatomy aspect of radiation sciences and also was amazed at how a machine could produce…
