X-ray

the controlled exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light source, is used often in medicine for a number of reasons. For example, exposing the infant to ultraviolet rays or sunlight helps a jaundiced infant break down excess bilirubin or bile. Ultraviolet light has wavelengths in the 10 to 400 nm range (between visible light and X-rays in the spectrum). Lasers are used routinely to remove certain skin growths or even unwanted hair. They are also used widely in eye surgery and as a cauterizing…

radiography. Also, a lot of different people are coming in and out all the time, and I would get to find the cause of the diseases. Therapeutic radiographers plan and administer radiotherapy treatment for patients. "They plan and deliver treatment using x-rays and other radioactive sources working closely with medical specialists to plan and treat malignant tumors or tissue defects assessing and monitoring patients throughout treatment and follow-up" (Job Profiles Radiographer- work activities).…

X-Ray and Neutron Imaging In physics, radiation is described as the transmission or emission of energy in the form of particles such as electrons, neutrons, protons and alpha particles or waves through a medium such as space, air or through a material. Gamma radiation (γ) and electromagnetic radiation, such as x-rays, radio waves heat and visible light are all examples of radiation. One of the main modern physics discoveries was that each unit of a wavelength of any form of wave radiation will…

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…

Sagittal, coronal, and axial planes are all optimal diagnostic viewpoints. A Computed Tomography unit utilizes an x-ray tube and a detector array to find anatomic information from a patient. A typical repeating method that is required is an intravenous infusion of an iodinated contrast agent which helps to distinguish between pathology and ordinary tissue. Since the…

it and toss it on the driveway. Luckily, it’s flat. It then pops up with white smoke, revealing the storage. After you bring them to the garage, you open the big one, but it 's sided. After you finish placing a Guillotine, a Shrink/Growth Ray, and a Duel X-ray machine. You wonder who you…

She diagnosed me with scoliosis. She wanted me to have another x-ray to see if the curvature had progressed. If it had progressed the x-ray would show to what extent. Doctor Short referred me to a specialist in Charlottesville. He explained that scoliosis is more typical in girls than boys. I was fourteen when the doctor diagnosed me with scoliosis.…

Computed tomography (CT) is a computerized method that uses a computer to process the data collected from the passage of x-ray beams through the region of interest. The multislice CT (MSCT) means CT that the system equipped with multiple rows of CT detectors to create images of multiple sections. The data obtained from the patient will be transformed into “cuts” or cross-sectional slices of the human body (Romans, 2011). In early 1970, they use a single slice CT scan that contributes too many…

Q4) How do you to test the following equipment is functioning correctly prior to use and how can you tell when it does not? What action would you take if the equipment failed? a) Dental chair We are testing chair practically every day when we are switching chair on. If the chair is not moving we checked the main switch on the side at the bottom, if the pressure is on in bottle with water for procedures and if the switch over the table with computer is on. If all is on and chair is still not…

Magnetic resonance imaging uses non-aggressive magnetic imaging technology to produce a three dimensional image of a bodily part. This is similar yet different to the use of x-ray imaging for similar purposes, however, MRI has no trace of the damaging ionizing radiation given off during the use of x-rays and CT scans. MRI is generally used for inspection and detection in the muscles, ligaments and soft tissue through the human body and can be used to monitor treatments, diagnosis of a patient…
