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…

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…

fragile, this means that there is a greater risk of breaking something. This then would mean that there is a greater use for x-rays and other imaging making the need of radiologist technicians greater. As a Radiologist Technician you are subjected to radioactive material on a daily basis. According to Cancer Risks among Radiologists and Radiologic Technologists: Review of Epidemiologic Studies “increased mortality due to leukemia among early workers employed before 1950, when radiation…

Getting an x-ray is serious business and should only be done when it is completely necessary. There are a few different situations within a chiropractic setting where getting an x-ray is necessary. #1 Elderly Patients When patients are elderly, most chiropractors will insist on x-rays as part of their initial evaluation of a patient. When treating elderly patients, there is an increased risk that the patient has suffered trauma to their back over the course of their life. There is also an…
