help diagnose, students interested in this field need to understand the skills utilized because Radiology and Sonography both require different techniques. For instance, Radiology uses electromagnetic rays to take pictures of the patient’s body parts. The most common use of this technology is X-ray. Radiology is used to see things such as fractures, pneumonia, and even breast cancer. Most people that want to become a Radiology Technologist take the path of getting a two-year associates degree…
dentistry. As a student graduating as a dental assistant I have notice and experienced with patients that patients question the fact why they are getting x-rays and if the dose of radiation they are being exposed to is bad. Studies have shown that the exposure in dental x-rays is very low and still many patients doubt on those studies and refuse to get x-rays done. Radiology in general is tough, as…
X-Rays Development of the X-Ray In 1895, a mechanical engineer and physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen created the X-ray. He was born on March 27, 1845 in Germany. So in 1895, Roentgen was playing around with a cathode ray tube and evacuated all the air inside of it and replaced it with another special gas. Then, he covered the tube so nothing escapes it, passed a current through it, and then the tube produced a fluorescent glow. After further investigations, Roentgen wanted to see how strong this…
Case study of X-ray imaging with grating interferometer on pearls Abstract- With the increase of fraudulent conduct in the field of jewellery there has been increase in the demand for inspection to identify the purity of the product. In this case study X-Ray Radiography is used to identify natural pearls and artificially cultured pearls. In order to understand the internal structure a personalized grating interferometer and inspection has been performed to obtain measurements. The computed…
X-rays is one type of electromagnetic radiation that can send waves through the body which makes us see through the body tissue but it doesn’t go through the bone. Therefore it is used in hospitals to see if a person has a broken bone or any diseases. Because it can go through clothes and the human skin it is also used in airports to see if anybody has a knife or anything dangerous with them. X-rays were first discovered by German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1985. Roentgen found x-rays…
Introduction An MRI (or Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a radiology technique that uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to look at organs and structures inside our bodies. Single MRI images are called slices can be stored on a computer or printed on film. An MRI combines images to create a 3-D picture of your internal structures. The MRI scanner is a tube surrounded by a huge circular magnet. The patient is placed on a moveable bed that is inserted into the magnet. An MRI…
For my three health careers I chose radiologist, pediatric oncologist and athletic trainer. I do not necessarily want to go in the medical field, but if I were to I would want to work in one of these three careers. All three jobs require skills, reasoning and intuitive thinking. You might find yourself in a situation that demands fast thinking and problem solving, so you need to be prepared. The first career I chose was a radiologist. To become a radiologist you must obtain a Bachelor's Degree…
Thermal MR Injuries “The number of MR imaging related adverse events has increased steadily since the first years of clinical use, which may be due to the increase in the number of MR procedures” (Hardy& Weil, 2010). The primary type of adverse injuries is skin injuries. The Joint Commission and other organizations have raised awareness of skin injuries that are related to MR imaging. Technologists should always pay close attention to prevent accidents and injuries during MRI procedures.…

Medical Imaging and how the MRI Scan is used in the medical field today. Understanding Medical Imaging Medical Imaging has several different technologies that are used to view the human body. There are different types of Medical Imaging such as MRI, X-ray, CT, ultrasound, mammography, molecular imaging, and Pet Scan. Every medical imaging has a different image when using on the human body. The MRI uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to get detailed pictures of the internal body…
