Raad Almandil Professor L. Lykins ENGL 111-57C Due Date: 2/21/2013 Radiologists Radiology is connected to virtually all areas of medicine. Many people often enter the field of radiology because they have different sorts of interest in the job. The field of radiology was originally oriented on using X-ray radiation imagining of the body. Current radiology is not limited to X-rays; it also uses magnetic field‚ radiation and sound waves. Radiology can be used both for diagnostic

Introduction Central venous cannulation is a routine procedure‚ which is safe in experienced hands‚ especially under ultrasound guidance. Central venous cannulation is associated with various complications‚ some being potentially dangerous like inadvertent arterial puncture. We hereby report a case of inadvertent cannulation of left subclavian artery during ultrasound guided placement of central venous catheter in left internal jugular vein(IJV). Case Report A 46-year-old female with no co-morbidities

and performing variations to the procedure. The first human procedure was performed in 1929 by Werner Forssmann who created an incision into his left antecubital vein and then inserted a catheter into his venous system‚ guiding the catheter by fluoroscopy into his right atrium. The next year‚ he repeated the procedure into his right ventricle‚ later winning him the

Patient Preparation The patient is commonly placed in a prone or prone-oblique position‚ with elevation of the side to be punctured. The region of the projected percutaneous nephrostomy should be evaluated by means of ultrasonography‚ CT‚ or fluoroscopy‚ and the puncture site should be marked. This region should then be prepared (eg‚ cleansed with povidone-iodine solution) and draped in the

xray------------------------------------------------- X-ray X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers‚ corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3×1016 Hz to 3×1019 Hz) and energies in the range 100 eV to 100 keV. The wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and longer than those of gamma rays. In many languages‚ X-radiation is called Röntgen radiation‚ after Wilhelm

These developments give relatively low-cost‚ high quality‚ large area of flat-panel detector arrays. Other advantages of the flat panel include high spatial resolution especially in the dental imaging‚ high volume coverage‚ ability to perform fluoroscopy or angiography in conjunction with tomography‚ and ability to monitor a temporally evolving process [1]. The advantages are counterbalanced with the lower contrast resolution because of the x-ray scatter in cone-beam acquisition‚ slower decay time

ROBOTIC SURGERY Robotic surgery‚ computer-assisted surgery‚ and robotically-assisted surgery are terms for technological developments that use robotic systems to aid in surgical procedures. Robotically-assisted surgery was developed to overcome the limitations of minimally-invasive surgery and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery. In the case of robotically-assisted minimally-invasive surgery‚ instead of directly moving the instruments‚ the surgeon uses one of five
