Historical developments in the treatment of vascular malformation has been since 1762 by Hunter. Further, in 1851 Virchow and others developed a classification of telangiectasias, and of venous, arterial, arteriovenous, and cystic angiomas. The year of 1889, marked the successful excision of an intracranial AVM that was performed. Vascular malformations can be classified as Capillary telangiectasias, Cavernous malformations, Venous malformations, Arteriovenous malformations. The paper focuses…

The Radiology site specializes in treating and diagnosing diseases and injuries through the use of imaging such as x-rays, CAT scans, MRI’s , and ultrasounds. The personnel there is willing to walk someone through the procedure, and happy to answer any questions. The radiologic technologists (RN’s) are there to help ensure the patient receives the best treatment possible for the best possible results. They make sure both the patient and themselves stay safe from too much exposure radiation, and…

If installed correctly and operated properly, MRI exams should pose no outstanding risks to one’s health. However, if MRI suits are not properly designed nor operated correctly, MRI exams may result in building damages along with fatal accidents to patients. This is due to the extremely strong magnetic field, foreign bodies containing metal are strongly attracted to the magnet, and the improper use of the equipment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a popular machine used to image the human…

VDH can provide critical information to healthcare providers, including a fact sheet for managing patients exposed to or contaminated with radiation (Appendix 16) and instructions for collecting and shipping specimens for laboratory testing by urine bioassay (Appendix 17a for distribution outside VDH, Appendix 17b for distribution within VDH). For clinical management and care of patients with significant radiation exposure or contamination (≥ 1000 times background), DRH may refer healthcare…

Three words, Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It’s the MRI, truly a miracle machine! The MRI has helped people in the past, is helping people in the present, and will help people in the future. Inside is high tech machinery that has both mechanically, and has chemically powerful equipment. The inventor is remarkably intelligent, as well as his invention. Both his religious and medical beliefs played a role in the creation. Question is, how did all this come to be? As a break though in the 20th…

X-rays are a very powerful and valuable technique that can provide important and lifesaving information. Fluoroscope, is an x-ray device that allows physicians to view live images inside the human body that are projected onto a viewing monitor during a diagnostic and intraoperative procedures. This machine uses X-rays to give real-time video images on the area of interest making it possible to see internal organs in motion such as blood flow and catheter insertion. A Fluoroscopy captures these…

the three modalities assists medical staff every day in different ways to save lives. Fluoroscopic Radiology, also known as real time imaging, (Bushong pg.637)is when x-rays flow continuously to helps doctors to see the function of the body while in motion. . With a regular diagnostic X-ray can only see a still frame when an x-ray is produced. For example, a patient comes into a medical facility…

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…
