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:…

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…

Letter of Statement Radiology Program University of Toronto To me practicing medicine has always been a challenge of gathering information, assessing the problem, focusing my attention and solving the puzzle; the combination which I later figured out, fits into radiology at the highest. Participating in an elective rotation during the third year of medical school enhanced my interest in radiology. I had the opportunity to visit the department and to attend the clinical and didactic lectures;…

staff really struggles with in the Radiology department. The doctor’s nurse will call over to schedule a CT or MRI, the preauthorization that is required will not be done yet and the examination gets scheduled. The nurse states that the preauthorization is getting worked on it and then it will be faxed over. When the patient gets to the department there isn't a preauthorization for the study that is scheduled. So the next step is having the patient wait until Radiology can get a hold of the…

Patients must first receive a referral from their doctor 2. Patients or doctor’s assistant contact the MRI scheduling department to get appointment 3. Receptionist at scheduling department writes the patient’s name and type of procedure on the daily schedule form (8 time slots, each for a one-hour increment) 4. Patients check in with the receptionist upon arrival and wait for the MR technologist to escort them to the MR machine in the magnet room 5. Patients are questioned about possible…

Discuss the use of brain imaging technology in investigating the relationship between biology and behaviour The function of this paper is to review, in an unbiased way of brain imaging technologies in investigating the relationship between biology and behaviour. Brain imaging technologies, with their advantages and disadvantages: PET scan/Positron Emission Tomography scan What it is: A PET scan, or Positron Emission Tomography scan is a scan that detects positrons that are emitted from…

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical technology that uses magnetic fields to interact with protons in the human body, producing an image that allows doctors to diagnose disease and/or injuries (DiGiuseppe, Haberer, Salciccioli, Sanader, & Vavitsas, 2012). The idea of MRI technology had come from Raymond Damadian who was a medical professor and had founded the company that manufactured MRI scanners (Bergman PH. D, 2015). In the beginning, Damadian had been using Nuclear Magnetic…

MRI and CT scans are important in the medical field because they distinguish between healthy and unhealthy tissue in the human body. Doctors use these tests so they can see through a picture what is wrong with a patient. Even though both tests are important and helpful, they have their pros and cons. Many people may think that MRI’s and CT’s are similar because they both provide images on the inside of the human body. These two machines work differently and are used differently. MRI scans are…

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…

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…
