What is radiology? When people here the word radiology they think x-ray. To me‚ radiology means more than just taking an x-ray. Radiology is a science dealing with high-energy radiation that is used to treat and diagnose disease. Radiology technologists have more to do than just take an X-ray image of the body. Some tasks a technologist have to be able to perform include; taking their time to protect patients and themselves from radiation exposure‚ diagnosing a precise image of certain body parts

Sonograms are computer images of things inside your body created by high-energy sound waves. Sonograms use sound waves instead of radiation which makes it a little safer. One of the most popular areas in sonography is ultrasounds. These machines are used as image and diagnostic tools. They are more commonly used in obstetrics and gynecology during a woman’s pregnancy. Many women opt for ultrasounds mainly because it allows them to know the sex of their baby and the health of their baby. The majority

Abstract Therapeutic Ultrasound is a well established and commonly used practice in the field of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitative sciences. Primarily ultrasound is used in the treatment and repair of soft tissue lesion management used as thermal modality. However in recent practice the non-thermal aspects of Ultrasound as intervention are being employed. Evidence indicates the dose dependant

Most people know about the problems solved and the discoveries made by physicists in the past‚ such as the orbits of planets found by Galileo‚ the law of gravity first unravelled by Newton and later extended by Einstein. It is not as widely

Radiologists are physicians who performs and interprets diagnostic imaging tests and interventional procedures or treatments that involve the use of X-ray‚ ultrasound‚ and magnetic resonance imaging equipment. People often confuse between radiologists and radiologic technologists/radiology technicians‚ though there is a clear distinction between these two: technicians carry out the process of obtaining the images whereas radiologists take charge of interpreting the results. After the images are interpreted

Forensic scientists established a way to identify the brand of lipstick someone was wearing at a crime scene without removing the evidence from its bag‚ avoiding contaminating the evidence (2013). The technique by the name of Raman Spectroscopy was used (2013). This method detects laser light allowing for investigators to analyze lipstick marks left at the crime scene (2013). “Analyzing lipstick traces can be used to establish physical contact between two individuals‚ such as a victim and a suspect”
