X-ray

Radiography is the process of producing x-ray pictures, also known as RADIOGRAPHS. X-rays were discovered on November 8, 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in Germany at the University of Wurzburg. Radiographs are produced through the use of radiation. There are three different types of radiation. These include PRIMARY RADIATION, REMNANT RADIATION, and SCATTER RADIATION. Primary is the radiation that leaves the tube, remnant is the “exit radiation” that passes through the image receptor, and…

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…

considered a specialized modality of radiology that deals mostly with invasive image-guided procedures. With advances in technology, interventional procedures can be performed on several areas of the body with success in conjunction with using live x-rays during exams. Cerebral aneurysms often can be in susceptible areas of the brain, and usually, are considered somewhat high risk in nature. The use of endovascular coiling can prove to not only be successful, but beneficial in treatment to…

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…

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…

MRI is a unique medical practice among other imaging methods because, unlike radiographs for example x-rays and ct scans and even radioisotope studies it does not use ionising radiation to create an image of the body this is good because if it does not use ionising radiation it will not have the effects that the radiation causes to the human body. But instead of using other means such as ultrasound to create an image it uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed digital images of the…

of a professional. This job you need to pass the licensure examination to become licensed and be able to work in a dental office. Yes, because there is always need technology and skills. The technology used is are hand, power tools and how to use x-ray equipment. You have to both communicate orally and in writing. You have to educate the patients to teach them of correct oral treatment, You also have to write down what the patient oral health is and what you have to do to fix it. The math…

Thesis for Research Paper Throughout life, there are certain technological advancements everybody experiences which affect their lives in either positive or negative ways. To be more specific, the field of photography is a field which has had some major technological advancements with imaging, resulting in the discovery of radiographs, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The chain reaction of advancements from photography to medicine has helped the world in increasing life…

tissues and other organs inside the body. Since MRI is a powerful technology, the scanner uses force and strong magnetic to see the images of your body organs in detailed. Second is X-rays, which is told to be the oldest imaging technology. X-rays is proven to evaluate bone fractures, lungs, cancer, and swallowed items. X-rays uses radiation to…
