Radiography

Many years ago I had a dog who was my best friend. I found him when he was just a puppy and had been dumped on the side of the road. He was so young that I had to feed him baby food with a dropper. As he grew up we became inseparable; we went everywhere and did everything together. One day while playing fetch, Bronson ran into the road. It was a horrible incident to witness because he ran right in front of a car instantly breaking both his back legs and several ribs. My mom ran out and we…

INTRODUCTION In the new digital world in which we find ourselves, the advancement of digital medical imaging is no exception. Endless opportunities abound with the vision of the all-digital radiology department. The digital transformation allows for new practice models, new clinical applications and added benefits for both patients and stakeholders that may have only been imaginable in the not so distant past. This document will outline the key elements of the digital radiology department, the…

important diagnostic marker to order that also can help differentiate between CHF and COPD. BNP > 400 confers a 95% likelihood of CHF. BNP < 100 excludes CHF as a cause of dyspnea. Choice "B" is not the best answer. A chest Xx-ray is a better form of radiography to order than a chest CT scan. Both forms help you determine if pulmonary edema is present, but the former is much quicker.…

Ultrasound and view it not only in Radiology Department, but also other such as Emergency, Clinique and Wards for Inpatient ( 1 ). For the past 100 years, film was use for capturing, storing and displaying Radiographic Image. In the early 1960s Digital radiography developed. It allow…

Multiple Myeloma Cancer comes in many forms and severity, and nearly everyone can relate to cancer in one way or another. One specific cancer of the bone has affected many today, and the number of cases is increasing every year. “Multiple myeloma is the most common primary bone cancer among U.S. adults aged 70 years and older, and the incidence of the disease is increasing” (Reisenbuckler, 2014, p. 391). Because this disease is increasing, it is important to know exactly what multiple myeloma is…

The three different ways X-rays can be taken are computed tomography (CT scan), fluoroscopy, and radiography (Fda.gov). CT scans are X-rays that produce cross-sectional images of the body. They are also referred to as computerized axial tomography. A fluoroscopy is a medical imaging to show a continuous X-ray image, like an X-ray movie. Radiography is the art, act or process of making radiographs and sonograms. Using radiology on it too dangerous, it can cause irreparable damage to fertility,…

Radiation Exposure and Image Quality in Chest CT Examinations The lone conundrum that has stumped radiologists to physicists; from the individuals wielding a bachelor’s degree, to the geniuses that have made education their life occupation. How can radiation exposure be reduced to its absolute minimum without compromising image quality? Radiation is dangerous to the human body, and its variable effects are collective throughout our lives. This scientific concept forces an ethical responsibility…

What is Hole in the Trachea in Cats? The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is a tube made of cartilage that allows air to pass from the throat to the larynx to the bronchi in the lungs. When the trachea becomes perforated via a small hole or tear in the cartilage, the air that normally passes into the lungs goes into the surrounding tissues. This creates pockets of air under the skin, in the mediastinum (the area in-between the lungs), around the heart, in the chest cavity and in the…

Dental assistants place an important role in the delivery of dental care. This quarter I learned about basic dental procedures such as composite and amalgam restorations, as well as how to fabricate and cement a temporary crown. I applied this information during our lab class and made a temporary for my typodont. I was good at making a triple tray so we don’t need to make all those three opposing arch impression, bite registration and final impression which made the procedure done efficiently .…

useful in seeing the joints, tendon sheaths, erosions, and even changes of vascularization of the synovial joints (Kourilovitch et al., 2014). Even though these imaging techniques help for diagnosis, the first choice used for imaging is usually radiography. According to Weinblatt, Westhovens, Mendelsohn, Kim, Lo, Sheng, and Baker (2014), this imaging tool is very useful in seeing the development of arthritis in the hands, wrists, knees, elbows, shoulders, hips, and other joints. This makes it…
