Ultrasound Technologist Ultrasound Technologist are people who use high-frequency sound waves to create images of soft tissue in a patient’s body. Doctors and Physicians use these images to diagnose abnormalities and diseases in a patient. They also use these images for women's who are pregnant, to make sure the baby and the mother are both healthy. These people are also known to be as diagnostic medical sonographers. Their average annual salary is $63,630, and their hourly wages goes by $30.5They usually need a minimum of 2-4 years of training to become certified for employment.…
“On any given day, between six and eight per cent of Canada’s 15,000 federal inmates are in segregation cells, and about one-fifth of them will spend more than 120 days there. ”(Winter, par. 13) Solitary confinement is not something anyone is willing to talk about because it involves people society deems as outcasts so we sweep it under the rug and ignore the issue. What many canadians do not know is that solitary confinement is classified as a form of torture by the United Nations due to to its severe mental effects. There are many things wrong with the correctional system but solitary confinement ignored human rights in order to gain some control and punish those unwill to respond to commands.…
When protection the public, patients and the radiation technologists from radiation, shielding is one of the most important factors to consider. However shielding goes beyond just protecting the patient using gonadal shielding. Contractors and hospital staff have three sources of radiation that they must shield. These include scattered radiation from the patient, primary radiation for the x ray beam and leakage radiation from the x ray tube. All x ray tubes have some radiation leakage.…
In the video by Doug Dietz, we see a problem most people overlook being seen and fixed because of one thing: empathy. Doug showed empathy to the family that came to get an MRI scan in the Scanner he designed, so he was able to feel the anxiety and stress faced by the parents and the children. They are the ones the hospital would use the machine on. Hence it is their satisfaction that is important to him. As a designer, I know that a designer feels the most satisfaction when their design serves its purpose in the best way it can and touches the lives of others in the process.…
if they put in too little funding then many patients could suffer the consequences. Another political issue related to MRI machines is how long they allow the operation time to run for. Many researchers debate the amount of time an MRI can be utilized and try to suggest how they can maximize exams per year. Research by Ariste and Fortin (2007, e113) assessed that an additional 31% operating capacity could exist for MRI machines in Canada without needing more infrastructure or capital. The researchers also noted that some provinces tended to use their MRI machines less frequently than others but noted that supply-demand constraints could also impact how provinces operated (Ariste and Fortin 2007, e113).…
If the machine breaks, the radiologic technologist will be asked to try and fix the problem that occurs. Every machine has a certain way of working and has problems that may occur everyday. Knowing how the machine works is a big part of the…
I have seen and used an x-ray machine before and observed a few ultrasounds but what fascinated me was seeing the MRI machine and how it functioned. I’ve been a test patient a few times and was a bit wary about laying on a table and being slid into the center of this ginormous machine. Before sliding in the tech asks all these questions about past surgeries and metal in the body, I was a bit confused and had no idea that the MRI machine was a magnet. After getting started the noises were so loud, it sounded like alien life forms were trying to communicate with me. I was mystified after coming out and seeing all the images.…
A brief explanation of the comfort concept is when a person will feel mental or physical ease or relief from stress or pain. A sense of security and contentment. An example of comfort would be a child that knew their mother would read a story to them, when it was time to go to bed in the evening. A brief explanation of the privacy concept is having the freedom of others in their space or environment.…
There are many things wrong with solitary confinement. Solitary confinement is when prisoners are put in a small cell, by themselves, for 22-24 hours a day. There are many downsides to solitary confinement, some of them being: the overall health of the prisoners, the fact that, once released, prisoners are more likely to re-commit a crime more violent, and many more. Solitary confinement does have some good things about it like safety for both the prisoner, other inmate, and the staff, etc. While solitary confinement is good, it is bad for many reasons such as, psychological effects, prisoners are more likely to re-commit a crime this time more violent, and the cost of running it.…
Solitary confinement has been around for centuries. Inmates are kept inside a cell that is approximately 80 square feet, smaller than a typical horse stable for 23 hours a day. In the history, there have different solitary confinements Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia, Newgate Prison in NYC, Auburn Prison in Western NY, Eastern State Penitentiary Philadelphia and Sing Sing (Biggs 1). Inmates are placed in these isolation units for many reasons, as punishment, protection or education.…
The death penalty has been in the United States since the first settlements were built. In that time an estimated 16,000 criminals have been put to death since the first recorded execution, back in 1608 (Ford). A amount of those criminals had killed at least one person, and good portion of them would not stop killing until they were stopped. Luckily, the criminals that were planning on never stopping, or were not able to stop, were caught and brought to justice. When the criminal is convicted, the family can feel some measure of relief about what has happened and that justice has been served knowing the criminal is off the streets.…

Cardiac synchronization: prospective triggering, gating or retrospective triggering is some of the option to help with the artifacts. To acquirer the most accurate image you can use triggering in combination with flow compensation, respiratory triggering or breath hold and regional saturation techniques. There are several things that can assist when having an MRI to produce a better Image. Electrocardiogram (ECG) leads will likely be placed on your chest to help the machine synchronize the image acquisition with the beating of your heart. A respiratory gating belt, a device that helps the computer know how you are breathing at any given time, may be placed around your abdomen.…
