Radiography is a health sector that has not only revolutionised medical diagnosis but has also developed significantly within the digital era. Studying radiography at degree level will allow me to merge my scientific knowledge with my interest in patient care in order to aid accurate diagnosis of healthcare problems and contribute to the wellbeing of patients. A career within the NHS and health sector has been my passion for a long time and the excitement of being within a challenging and dynamic

I became interested in Radiography during my studies as a dental nurse. On a daily basis I saw a lot of intro oral x-rays taken during the treatment course on various patients. I saw the importance of being able to see various abnormalities and tissues before‚ during and after any procedure. I am interested in radiography because it involves both individual patient care and also sophisticated equipment. I also like the various departments where radiographers can use their skills from ante-natal

Throughout childhood and into adolescence having skinned up knees and injuries was all part of growing up. If we fell and injured ourselves‚ we would get right back up and move on with our lives. In some cases children may view having a broken bone as a source of pride. However for older adults the dangers of falling have real consequences because if a bone is broken it can range anywhere from a temporary inconvenience to a complete loss of independence. The elderly also have a higher chance

in the thoracic cross-section imaging‚ chest radiography remains the main diagnostic concept applied in dealing with pulmonary diseases. It is the frequent diagnosis performed for patient suspected of thoracic abnormalities. Since the discovery of X-ray‚ much technological advances have been made to improve chest radiography. Progresses in film based imaging have led to development in excellent screen film systems that are designed for chest radiography. More recent advancement in computer and electronic

The ejected electron is known as a recoil electron which is scattered in the forward direction. The photon has a longer wavelength than the incident photon due to loss of energy. Pair production never occurs in diagnostic radiography but does occur in radiotherapy radiography as the energy required for it to be initiated is 1.02 MeV. This process is inversely proportional to energy. A positron and a negatron are produced; the positron is annihilated when it collides with an electron. Electrons are

The beginning of fluoroscopy can be taken way back in the 90s when there wasn’t much technology. This was all discovered by Rontgen‚ who noticed a fluorescing screen during the exposure to what was later called x-ray. Back then many people where wrong after coming up with conclusions that fluoroscopy would completely replace x-ray after knowing that in fluoroscopy there was movement available in the process. In fluoroscopy‚ a machine is used. One that can use either a continuous beam or it can do

San Francisco‚ January 21‚ 2014 - The global market for portable X-ray and CT scan devices is expected to reach USD 8‚408.0 million by 2020‚ according to a new study by Grand View Research‚ Inc. Rising demand for bedside imaging‚ home healthcare and the growing use of CT scan devices for anatomical confirmation and to assess the accuracy of medical implants during and post interventional medical procedures are two of the most significant growth drivers of this market. The market will also be driven

main imaging techniques used in radiography. For the purposes of this essay‚ we will look at conventional x-rays and diagnostic ultrasound. Conventional x rays are non-invasive diagnostic techniques that are used to capture images of the body’s organs and bones. Diagnostic ultrasounds are high frequency sound waves to create an image of soft issues in the body such as muscles‚ joints‚ and internal organs. As examined below‚ while both are used in diagnostic radiography‚ they have extremely different
