X-ray computed tomography

MRI scan, is a type of scan that uses magnetic fields and radio wave energy to create images of the organs and tissues, such as the brain. It is a scan that is used to detect things such as tumors, infections and injuries. It is often used after an x-ray or CT scan is done to gather more information. This paper will discuss MRI in depth such as how an MRI works, its use in society, the differences between MRI and other scans and the future for MRI.…

charged particles) and x-rays is a type of electromagnetic wave. The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the more energy the wave emits. Gamma radiation has the shortest wavelength amongst all the other electromagnetic waves and has the most energy. It cannot be seen or felt and can pass through almost anything. X-rays have slightly longer wavelengths than Gamma rays and has the second most energy emission. Like Gamma, x-rays cannot be seen but unlike Gamma radiation, x-rays cannot pass through…

clients, we were able to see many people with different needs and we learned a lot. It was also a review with asepsis techniques and making sure not to cross contaminate. It was nice to meet a lot of new people and how they reacted to students taking x-rays on them and them having questions based on their xrays and why they were being taken. It was also a good experience since next year we will not have help from students but we will need to set up, take rads and tear down…

mammogram is an x-ray vision of the human breast. The x-ray vision is used for screening purposes in facilitating the detection of tumors in the breast as well as microcalcifications such as calcium deposits that are critical in the detection of breast cancer. Mammograms used for diagnostic purposes in cases where the patient exhibits symptoms of cancer, and a tumor already detected in the breast. The diagnostic mammogram requires more time, thus, longer exposure to radiation of x-rays to…

The Importance of Effective Workflow in The Medical Imaging Department The imaging department consists of many integrated systems that all play a vital role in the operation of the unit. These systems include RIS/HIS systems, modality interfaces, PACS systems, and integrated work systems. The efficient image acquisition and workflow are essential in today 's radiologic environment. These systems will be reviewed and their importance discussed as they tie into the workflow of the radiology…

X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a Professor at Wuerzburg University in Germany. While working with a cathode-ray tube in his laboratory, Roentgen observed a fluorescent glow of crystals on a table near his tube. In the past, people were unaware of how harmful x-rays are, because they are invisible. Scientists and researchers working in the radiography field were not aware of the effect on the body after continuous exposure. When radiography was in its infancy, it was…

technicians use MRIs on their patients but veterinarians also make use of MRIs on various animals to diagnose similar problems. In comparison to x-rays and CAT scans MRIs are the safest option using magnetic fields and radios waves which people are exposed to daily, therefore not much risks are involved (DiGiuseppe, Haberer, Salciccioli, Sanader, & Vavitsas, 2012). X-rays and CAT scans use radiation that is much more harmful and can cause cancer if one gets too much exposure. One downside to…

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…
