    Growth of Digital Radiology

    New to Health Care HCS/212 August 14, 2013 Dana Jankus New to Health Care In the past 20 years, there has been a huge growth of digital radiology in various organizationsThe article in general was written back in April 2000. 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. Patients were getting faster results and getting a better understanding of their condition. One benefit of digital x-ray has become common in most hospitals and clinics is that it creates a digital picture archive within hospital communication systems allowing doctors to have easy access their patient images. It is designed to replace film in just about any existing X-ray imaging equipment used today and does not require film developers, processing chemicals or storage space. Another benefit is that digital X-ray images can be obtained almost instantly and their resolution, contrast and clarity are at least as good as those of film (Kermode-Scott,2000). Conventional film can take generally 10-15 minutes to process. Its takes up a large amount of time and the processing chemicals can be a bit much to deal with. Digital imaging is also being touted for its ability to capture more information than film. For example, radiologists can view New to Health Care the lungs, heart, bones and a pacemaker from one shot rather than the multiple shots required by conventional radiographs (Kermode-Scott, 2000). Digital imaging would change the office and for the better. We would not need the tall giant-sized book shelves to hold the x-rays films we have in envelopes. We would have so much more space. The office would save paper because we would not have to file x-ray reports with the films. We can do everything from the desktop computer. Also a big plus to digital imaging…

    Mammograms: Powerful Breast Cancer Essay Example

    {text:bookmark-start} Mammograms {text:bookmark-end} Mammograms are important to have because it not only affects women over 40, but it affects young and men also. A mammogram (also called a mammography exam) is a safe, low-dose x-ray of the breast. A high-quality mammogram is the most effective tool for detecting breast cancer early. Early detection of breast cancer may allow more treatment options. It could even mean saving your breast or your life. Mammograms are probably the most important tool doctors have to help them diagnose, evaluate, and follow women who've had breast cancer. Mammograms don't prevent breast cancer, but they can save lives by finding breast cancer as early as possible. There are four important things to know about mammograms. First, they can save your life. The recommend age for having a mammogram is at age 40, unless there is a high risk. Then doctors feel you should have them earlier. Second, the procedure is fast, painless, with minimal discomfort. There is only a tiny bit of radiation exposure involved. Third, get the best quality you can. If your breasts are dense or if you are over 50, you will receive a digital mammogram. Correlate your results with other tests you've had done, like ultrasound or MRI.

    Interventional Radiology

    Radiology is a medical specialty that employs the use of imaging to both diagnose and treat disease visualized within the human body. Radiologists use an array of imaging technologies (such as x-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) to diagnose or treat diseases. Interventional radiology is the performance of, usually minimally invasive, medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies. The acquisition of medical imaging is usually carried out by the radiographer or radiologic technologist. The field of radiology is rapidly expanding due to advances in computer technology, which is closely linked to modern imaging.…

Knowing what to look for can save a life as far as early detection. The best thing that anyone can do is to educate themselves so that they are aware of signs and symptoms. It can start with looking up some tips online or talking to a health care professional. However, it is important to verify that the online source is credible and accurate.
