Interventional radiology

There are several imaging options today to see the heart and its function. I will explain how MRI can be used for imaging the heart. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive test that uses a combination of a large magnet, radiofrequencies and a computer to produce detailed images of a patient's heart as it is beating. An MRI is an effective tool for mapping the overall heart structure of patients and can use these images to search for aneurysms, tears , aorta bulging and damage…

Radiology seems like an amazing career to go into. Radiologists take X-rays of people and learn about the bones. Becoming a radiologist takes a lot of knowledge and work. Radiology requires a lot of work, such as an associates degree, passing a certification exam, and having skills in technology, math, and interpersonal connections. The skills and education needed to become a radiologist seem difficult. Radiologists need an associates degree, had to of passed a certification exam, and must have…

ancillary service I chose is radiology. Diagnostic Imaging is a specialty of medicine that uses nonionizing and ionizing radiation for diagnosing and intervention of disease. Diagnostic Imaging uses imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray radiography, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and ultrasound to image inside the human anatomy in to diagnose abnormalities and disease. The meaning of imaging in radiology is to create…

Radiology Technician Radiology is a career that many people choose for the excitement and glamor. But, what are the responsibilities of this career? In this paper I will answer these questions. If this is the career chosen, what are the education requirements is there additional training necessary in order to become a radiology technician? Knowing the kind of environment a radiology technician works in, what kind of salary a beginning radiology technician could expect, and what kind of…

I am applying to study Radiography because I am very passionate about the service radiographers provide to millions every year. I am interested in the way radiographers support the medical teams in their diagnosis and treatment of disease by producing high quality images on the inner body. I also love working with people, and becoming a Radiographer will allow me to work alongside a diverse group of colleagues in their care and treatment of patients. I am looking forward to the opportunity to…

The foot is a complex conglomerate of joints, ligaments, and muscles. It is through the interplay of these structures which gives humans the ability to walk and perform different functional tasks in a bipedal stance. The foot is vulnerable to a significant amount of stress during the daily grind. Hence, these repetitive stress at times can be the antecedent to certain foot pathology. This theory on repetitive stress is currently one of the accepted causes of a painful foot condition known as…

Nearly all ancient societies practiced body modification through either piercingss or tattoos. These ancient practices are becoming ever more present in our modern Canadian society, especially tattoos. One writer says, “Permanent tattooing is the process of body modification by deposition of a pigment into the dermis” (Simunovic and Shinohara 525). In the past three decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become increasingly popular in the medical field. Magnetic resonance imaging is a…

Radiology is advancing in today’s world. This paper will address what an actual radiologist is and what they do, the requirements to become a radiologist, the salary and the benefits a radiologist will receive, the careers that one can go into with radiology, the jobs one can get with being a radiologist, and many more things. Being a radiologist, or something involved in radiology, helps many people. It not only can tell what bones are broken but can also tell if something is wrong with you on…

neighboring town that Swedish American Health System in Rockford Illinois owns. At SwedishAmerican Medical Center/Belvidere, we currently have one Philips x-ray room and one AMX portable x-ray machine. The medical center only has one computed radiology (CR) laser reader. The x-ray room and portable x-ray both utilize this (CR) laser reader. If the laser reader happens to break down, we have no way of developing our images. In addition, there are times that more than one technologist is…

Radiology and Sonography are two very important cornerstones in the medical field. The two both have a lot of similarities and a lot of differences that are unknown to students wanting to pursue a career in either. They both require mostly the same schooling, however you have to learn the different job practices of each. Whereas both help diagnose, students interested in this field need to understand the skills utilized because Radiology and Sonography both require different techniques. For…
