Providing a tangible influence to people’s health is something I find personally stimulating and rewarding. I feel that studying radiography will give me the opportunity to study the body through advanced imaging techniques whilst allowing me to help people. I hope to achieve a career as a radiographer with the NHS in the future and specialise in particular departments using procedures such as ultrasound or X-rays. Therefore I consider this course would be great for me. My AS level choices biology

What is General Nuclear Medicine? Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and determine the severity of or treat a variety of diseases‚ including many types of cancers‚ heart disease‚ gastrointestinal‚ endocrine‚ neurological disorders and other abnormalities within the body. Because nuclear medicine procedures are able to pinpoint molecular activity within the body‚ they offer the potential to identify disease in its earliest stages

Techs have a big responsibility in the hospital‚ clinic‚ or an imaging center. Radiology techs do not only take x-rays‚ they can also specialize in MRI and CT imaging. 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

History‚ Use and Safety of Ultrasound Introduction Ultrasound is the generation of energy using sound wave of about 20‚000 or more vibrations per second. The ultrasound is mostly used in imaging tools and particularly in medical diagnosis. The ultrasound uses sound waves that are above the frequency of the human ear. A transducer is used to give off the sound waves that are reflected back from the tissues‚ and organs giving a picture of what are inside the body. This is later drawn on

scans provide images that pinpoint the location of abnormal metabolic activity within the body. The combined scans have been shown to provide more accurate diagnoses than the two scans performed separately. Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging. It uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and determine the severity of various types of diseases‚ including cancers‚ heart disease‚ gastrointestinal‚ endocrine‚ neurological disorders and other abnormalities within the body.

nuclear medicine uniquely provides information about both the structure and function of virtually every major organ system within the body. It is this ability to characterize and quantify physiologic function which separates nuclear medicine from other imaging modalities‚ such as x-ray. Nuclear medicine procedures are safe; they involve little or no patient discomfort and do not require the use of anesthesia. The Nuclear Medicine Technologist is a highly specialized healthcare professional who works closely

Today’s imaging modalities and techniques continue to advance rapidly. Sonography uses the technique of high-frequency sound waves to take images. Sonography is beneficial in many ways and has the ability to take images other modalities are incapable of. Over the years ultrasonography has rapidly advanced in its capabilities. With any modality in the imaging field patient safety should always come first. Within this modality health care workers are discovering new ways to accurately take images while
