American History X

front desk doing the clerical work I was oh so familiar with yet now I am doing it for a radiology office. Since being at Bay Radiology I have had the opportunity to talk to the technologists about their different fields of work. 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…

There seem to be numerous things that are specifically for women, whether pleasant or not. It appears as though women require a little extra work in a few regions. One example of this very thing, is a minor surgical procedure known as a Colposcopy. A colposcopy is a procedure done on women to better examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva. This is generally done if a pap test or pelvic exam came back with any abnormalities. It can be used to diagnose and analyze numerous conditions such as:…

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. On average, it is about 2-3mm of lead in the housing of the x ray tube. Traditionally lead has been used as the element of choice when shielding against x-rays and gamma rays. This is because “lead is a soft, malleable, and corrosion-resistant material” (Jaquith,…

Most individuals with even the most rudimentary knowledge of science have probably heard of x-rays and gamma radiation. Very few however, will be able to tell you where these forms of radiation come from. The answer: Pulsars. Pulsars, or neutron stars, are physics sandboxes that provide extreme conditions for humans to experiment with which are not readily available on Earth. Due to this usefulness, the discovery and research of these phenomena should be of the utmost importance. These neutron…

John F. Kennedy was a nonviolent man.Kennedy was a good president ,he was a non violent person .Kennedy never took a life from anyone in his lifetime.However someone did took his life away.Kennedy was shot while riding a limousine.

The success of JLS and the Wanted, X-Factor contestants One Direction was the next music group to help revive the boy bands. The group was formed by Niall Horan from Mullingar, Ireland; Zayn Malik from Bradford; Harry Styles from Cheshire; Louis Tomlinson from Doncaster, amd Liam Payne from Wolverhampton ( he had reached the judge's house stages of The X-Factor at 14 years old back in 2008). Each originally entered 2010's series of The X Factor as individuals. But a guest judge Nicole…

Different age groups throughout the years have acquired a generic name that is used to describe the generation as one big group. The term Millennials have come about from the generation born between 1982 and 2004, and this group brings a lot of attention to themselves. Most of this attention gets brought about by the use of social media as this is the first generation, for the later born Millennials, who have never lived without the internet. These individuals are more focused on themselves and…

During an exam, ultrasonic beams propagate through a patient’s tissue by means of the transducer. As the beam propagates, there is a loss of energy through absorption, reflection, and scattering. This loss is displayed in the image as shadowing. To start, shadowing may result due to the absorption or reflection of most of the energy. The degree of shadowing is dependent on the structure and size of the object that’s blocking the ultrasonic beam and its relativity to it. Shadowing is seen when…

Radiologic Technology is an interactive career in which X-ray machines utilize ionizing radiation to take images of patients’ bones throughout their bodies that may or may not be broken. The image is then sent to a Radiologist who analyzes and diagnoses the image and sends the results to the doctor. As a technologist you must be able to effectively operate the X-ray machines, correctly position patients, interact with them to make them feel comfortable while always staying as protected as…

There are many differences and similarities between our generation and our parents generation. Our generation is unlike any other due to the rise in technology. This changes the way we do things even traditions. While the older generation did not have the technology we had. Both Generations don't always see eye to eye, however that isn't a bad thing nor is it a good one. One difference between the generations is that the our parents generation had to work hard for everything they got. On the…
