It has not been quite recently when I scheduled and fulfilled the observation requirement, but about a year ago this month when applying for this program last year. The amazing thing about it is that the memory of this day still remains vividly in my mind. It was on this day that I learned the basic and not so basic job requirements for becoming a radiology technologist. Many might think that this job is limited to aiming a machine, positioning a patient, and taking pictures of their bones, but come to find out there was a whole lot more to it.…

The largest artery in the body is the aorta. When under a great amount of pressure, the aorta can bulge, creating an aneurysm (Figure 1); this usually occurs in a weak part of the artery. Aneurysm is derived from the Greek term "aneurysma", which means dilation. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a widening in one part of the abdominal aorta. This paper will cover how an aneurysm is developed and diagnosed, different types of aneurysms, clinical values, stages of aneurysms, what the risk factors are, who is at risk, treatment options, cost, and what will happen if an aneurysm erupts.…
During the next session, Kasten should continue to work on articulation of /s/ sounds with ES, focusing on phonetic placement, and making E.S more comfortable with correct speech sounds. Kasten appeared to be a good clinician. However, at times I think she was a little too picky in her assessment of E.S’s pronunciations. Being that this was such a long session for an eight year old, in future sessions I suggest more breaks during transitions. Lastly, I recommend more competition based games between Kasten and E.S; it will be a great way to get E.S to work hard, and strive to do her best during…

This makes them not trust surgeons by instilling fear of surgeons possibly not being experienced, as we all rely on surgeons and we all trust them.…
