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

Brain perfusion SPECT is a non-invasive nuclear medicine imaging technique that allows regional CBF evaluation. The technique includes four main components: the CBF radiotracers (radiopharmaceuticals)‚ instrumentation‚ image reconstruction‚ and CBF quantification. 1.1.1 CBF radiotracers The inert gas xenon 133 is one of the most important and classical radiotracers for CBF measurement in absolute units using SPECT []. Nevertheless‚ the poor spatial resolution and the requirement for dedicated instrumentation

The RCR and SCoR Team Working document7 underlined the guiding values and beliefs that the provision of appropriate supervision would provide a safe‚ efficient and practical service. This factor is an important governance issue7‚8 which clinical imaging service managers and clinical directors are collectively responsible for establishing and maintaining.

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

The driving notion behind POCT is to conduct the test conveniently and immediately for the patient. * POCT is accomplished through the use of transportable‚ portable‚ and handheld instruments (for instance‚ blood glucose meter‚ nerve conduction study device) and test kits (such as CRP‚ HBA1C‚ Homocystein‚ HIV salivary assay).

The first stage is an angiogram‚ which determines if the blood vessels of the liver and leading to the liver are able to withstand the procedure. Contrast is injected into the catheter and is followed via fluoroscopy to the liver. All imaging is acquired via fluoroscopy. If the patient is able to tolerate the Y90 procedure to follow‚ vessels that the radiologist wants to block from receiving radiation are coiled off and a tracer material is injected into the patient. The patient is taken
