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 scans‚ and MRIs. Radiology techs take the x-ray‚ and they also produce the film that the radiologist

One of the biggest goals in radiology is to keep the patient safe. There are many different ways to insure that the patient is safe when it comes to taking the perfect X-ray. One of the biggest and first things that the radiographers should do is confirm that they have the right patient. After confirming the patients name and date of birth the radiographer would also confirm the body part that is injured. Depending on the body part size and mass the radiographer would than determine how to set

Anode-The positive terminal of an x-ray tube; a tungsten block embedded in a copper stem and set at an angle to the cathode (q.v). The anode emits x rays from the point of impact of the electron stream from the cathode. A rotating anode is one that rotates constantly during x-ray production to present a changing focal spot to the currents without overheating.

Response Paper Summary The first article by Thomas Frank talks about the introduction of backscatter x-rays‚ a new threat detection technology that cannot visit the inside of a person’s body‚ thus reducing vulnerability to irradiation. Tests conducted show that backscatter x-rays are more efficient that traditional scanners and metal detectors. Joe Sharkey argues that backscatter x-rays will explicit images of travelers. Homeland security justifies the technology by comparing it to metal detectors

Radiology Technicians are a special group of individuals who specialize in X-Ray technology. These individuals have been specifically trained to take many types of X-rays. One study states “ Employment of Radiogrophy Technicians is projected to grow by 25% between 2006 and 2016” this means that this profession is in high demand. Therefor the three main reasons that Radiogrophy technicians are important to society is that they go through specialized training for their jobs‚ plus they must have a good

Becquerel’s earlier work was surpassed by his discovery of the occurrence of natural radioactivity. Becquerel decided to investigate whether there was any connection between X-rays and naturally occurring phosphorescence‚ after his discussion with Henri Poincaré on the radiation which had been recently discovered by Röntgen (X-rays) and which was accompanied by a type of phosphorescence in the vacuum tube. He had inherited from his father a supply of uranium salts‚ which exhibits phosphorescence upon
