1.0 INTRODUCTION The basic idea of the Multi-slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) is to widen the x-ray source with several detectors in rows so that the data can be gathered of more than a slice a time thus reduces the time of scanning. From the first establishment till this day‚ the MSCT systems had change in so many aspects. The advancements of the systems are to fulfill the medical needs and had brings a lot of convenience to the clinical fields. By producing the 3D image‚ the MSCT give a great

Diagnostic Imaging: X-Ray Diagnostic Imaging is medical tools used by doctors to see inside our bodies without actually opening the body. Diagnostic imaging can involve the use of radiation which could be dangerous if exposed to large amounts of. Diagnostic imaging allows doctors to find tumors‚ broken bones‚ pneumonia‚ etc. In general‚ diagnostic imaging is very helpful. X-Rays: This was one of the first types of diagnostic imaging. It uses radiation called Electromagnetic Waves. These

It discusses about clinical trial with the digital radiology specifically using the Xplore 1000 digital system. In the year 2000‚ a chiropractor was the first to install this particular system for commercial use. There was an improvement in diagnostic and clinical information

Radiology Technologist Radiology Techs have a big responsibility in the hospital‚ clinic‚ or an imaging center. Radiology techs do not only take x-rays‚ they can also specialize in MRI and CT imaging. The median annual wage for radiology techs was $52‚210 in May 2008.(“Radiology Technologists and Technicians”). Most training programs for radiology techs often last 21 to 24 months.(“Radiology Technician Information”). Radiology technologists perform diagnostic imaging exams like x-rays‚ CT

I have always had a great interest in science and from a young age I knew that my future profession would be in medical care. More recently I have developed an interest in the area of radiography due to the combination of scientific‚ technical and the extensive interpersonal skills which are all needed to become a successful radiographer. I am currently studying applied sciences at college and this course has provided me with an insight into the fundamentals of science. The unit that I have found

part of the radiography field. The MRI machine is a strong magnet that can move metal in the body. Before any MRI procedure is done‚ a thorough history must be taken to ensure patients do not have metal on‚ or in‚ any part of their body. For instance‚ patients who have a history of brain surgery and have had an aneurism placed in the brain can experience serious complications (even death) if an MRI procedure is performed without being aware of the clips presence. Teaching radiography students the

The purpose of the article by Kilgour et al. (2014) is to compare the attitudes of supervising radiographers and teachers when using a grading rubric for radiography students on placements. Also‚ to verify whether educational background‚ mainly in the case of teachers‚ has an effect on these attitudes (Kilgour et al. 2014). A grading rubric is defined as a matrix that allows a set of criteria to be assessed through levels of achievement (Howell 2014). They aimed to perceive whether this type of assessment

and clinical experiences have prepared me to study medicine. When I enrolled in the radiography program‚ I interacted with multiple patients and was able to sympathize because of my childhood health history. It is through my experiences‚ and the experiences of those in my community‚ that I have been afforded a unique perspective; I am not simply an outsider looking in. After receiving my associate degree in radiography I wanted to play a bigger part in patient care and decided to further my education

each of which uses different technologies and techniques. Computed tomography (CT)‚ fluoroscopy‚ and radiography ("conventional X-ray" including mammography) all use ionizing radiation to generate images of the body. Ionizing radiation is a form of radiation that has enough energy to potentially cause damage to DNA and may elevate a person’s lifetime risk of developing cancer. CT‚ radiography‚ and fluoroscopy all work on the same basic principle: an X-ray beam is passed through the body where a
