Last week‚ we have given the opportunity to take tour in the Davao Doctors Hospital to see the Specializations in Radiologic Technology such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging‚ Computed Tomography‚ Nuclear Medicine and etc. After seeing the different modalities‚ I felt happy because it is my first time to take a look and encounter any kinds of machine. Before‚ I was expecting that being a radiologic technologist is a hard job. But then when I had given the chance to see and know what their works are

It is estimated that doctors get it wrong in one out of ten to one out of twenty cases. A diagnostic error‚ incorrect or delayed diagnoses are very common and can be deadly to our patients. The Institute of Medicine has taken up the subject and reports that almost everyone will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetimes. Danielle goes on to say that sometimes

a specialized progressive specialty used to diagnose and treat diseases in a safe and painless way. Nuclear medicine helps in identifying the abnormalities and organ malfunctioning at an early stage- long before the same are apparent with other diagnostic tests. Why is it called nuclear medicine? This field of specialization includes the use of radioisotopes (radioactive material). Hence a combination of drugs and radioisotopes is used in the same. They help in studying the different internal parts

Distal DVt can extend to the popliteal and femoral veins and other proximal veins.

Both tests use computers to construct pictures to view within the body. Both of these tests are non-invasive procedures designed to provide medical professionals with a better understanding of the patient’s condition. There are‚ however‚ inherent differences

Non-clinical technology is available and valuable as a tool for us in health care. Electronic health records allow us to document care and store diagnostics for accessibility from local WOWs or outside locations and handheld devices. Systems allow providers to access information form home or office. Scheduling is done easily electronically; also may done by the patients themselves. E-scripts are sent directly to pharmacies upon patient’s discharge‚ to lower the incidence of prescription fraud and

Most genetic mechanisms of Alzheimer’s among families remain largely unexplained. The strongest risk gene researchers have found so far is apolipoprotein e4 (APOE e4). Other risk genes have been identified but not conclusively confirmed. Sex Women may be more likely than are men to develop Alzheimer’s disease‚ in part because
