Radiography

sonographer, explaining instructions pre and post procedure and more specialized roles (CMRTO, 2016)too specific to the procedure (Alberta, 2016). Similarly, the skill sets obligatory for effective job performance in ultrasonography are similar to radiography standards. Thus, the main traits of a successful sonographer all pertain to patient interactions, and are directly correlated to the personality profile awareness disc model. This model illustrates four different personality types and the…

only one animal hospital. Since then, they have earned a spot in animal healthcare through their investments and through their personal growth. In the year of 2011, VCA operated 541 animal hospitals, 53 laboratories, and were a supplier of digital radiography and ultrasound imaging equipment. In January of 2012, they expanded their operations throughout Canada by increasing investment in Associate Veterinary Clinics, which operated 44 animal hospitals in three different Canadian provinces. In…

one of them. Prior to this, science was always been a strong interest of mine and I've always wanted to pursue a career in the medical field. I was inspired by Radiotherapy because I wanted to have a profound effect on people lives; therapeutic radiography allows me to do. I believe that it's extremely gratifying knowing…

This essay will state the HCPC requirements for continuing professional development (CPD) and seek to explain the benefits of CPD. The benefits for health professionals, patients and the diagnostic radiography profession may not always be aligned. The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) set the standard for continuing professional development (CPD) in the UK. The HCPC were created safeguard the public by regulating and making health professionals accountable through a register. They…

OSTEIOD OSTEOMA A commonly occurring benign bone forming tumour can occur in any age group with increased male preponderance. It was first described in 1930 and later identified as a separate disease in mid of 1930s. osteoid osteoma can involve any bone but is more commonly found in long bones and that too in tibia, femur and humurus. Involvement of spine, hand and feet is also documented. Almost two third of all cases of osteoid osteoma occur in the long bones involving shaft, epiphyses of…

Ichthyosis is a rare genetic or acquired skin condition, classified under the “Disorders of Cornification” (NORD's Rare Disease Database, 2005) and is characterized by dry, thickened and scaling skin. There are many different forms of Ichthyosis, with some acquired types, disguisable from one another by the extent of scaling, the presence of reddening skin, how it was inherited and the associated abnormalities. Ichthyosis is a lifelong disease to which there is no cure. Ichthyosis may be…

subject of Greek origin who one of the first members of the Turkish Radiological Society.In his work, published in 1910, Chilaiditi reported anatomoradiographic aspects of 3 asymptomatic cases of the appearance of subdiaphragmatic air on plain radiography because of temporary hepatodiaphragmatic interposition of the colon. Since then, this condition has been associated with Chilaiditi's name.2 Chilaiditi sign is found incidentally in…

It works by directing beams of radiation at the object that is being checked. Example water pipes running beneath the house underground. If there is a defect in the object being tested, the film from the radiography will be darker as that is a sign to where the crack is because more radiation is able to pass through it. Cobalt-60 is used in engineering because the gamma radiation that it emits is able to penetrate metal parts. It has a half life of 5.2 years…

III. Assessment of right ventricular function in chronic chest diseases 1. Physical examination It is difficult to distinguish chronic lung disease from associated PH and RV dysfunction. Increased exertional dyspnea may arise from new RV dysfunction or progression of the underlying parenchymal lung disease. Symptoms associated with advanced RV dysfunction (leg edema, ascites) may not be present, or may develop independent of RV dysfunction (Macnee, 2010). 2. Noninvasive measurements…

Similar to other captive carnivorous mammals, the Eurasian otter’s optimal nutritional requirements have not been studied to a great extent. Usually in captivity, most of the diet that is used was created for the nutritional needs of other otters, like Asian small-clawed otters and North American River otters. These diets have been derived from the domestic cat, farm mink, and fox because the study of nutrition for captive carnivorous species is fairly rare. Eurasian otters suffer from…
