The science of Radiologic Technology is using equipment that operates with radiation to produce images that a radiologist can use to diagnose an injury or disease. A Radiologic technologist’s role in a health care team is to assist physicians (radiologists) in procedures‚ positioning and‚ operating equipment such as X-rays on patients. The radiographer is responsible for the patient’s personal safety as well as their own‚ while also the up keep of the equipment. A radiographer must follow guidelines

INTRODUCTION Forensic radiology has a long tradition in the forensic sciences. Its history started in 1895 when the first radiograph was made by Conrad roentgen. Three years later‚ in 1898 postmortem radiographic examination was introduced. Forensic radiology so far as depended almost exclusively on the X-ray and the static image captured on the roetgenogram. Uses and utilization of Radiology in Forensic Dentistry 1‚ 2‚ 3 Radiographs have helped to solve difficult cases in the forensic science

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technology that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create graphic images of the body’s anatomical and internal structures (1). MRI relies primarily on the protons in fat and water molecules of the body‚ as these protons respond to the static magnetic field created in ways that allows for a high quality image to be generated (2). These images contrasts specific tissue and different anatomical structures. For example‚ MRI can reveal

Sonography Name: Professor: Course: Date: Abstract The demand for advanced imaging of internal body issues has been on the rise with the increase of cancer cases in the past decade. This has called for techniques such as mammography‚ sonography‚ radiation therapy‚ nuclear medicine‚ MRI‚ CT scans‚ industrial radiography‚ mammography‚ Interventional radiography and Cardiac Catheterization. Each of these techniques has their own advantages as well as limitations. Because of this‚ they are often

According to The American Journal of Roentgenology “with the use of voice recognition‚ radiology reports are available to referring physicians in seconds” (para 5). Expediting the turnaround of radiology reports found “this has decreased the number of times radiologists get interrupted from physicians for results” (Seltzer et al. 893). Consequently‚ hospitals that use voice recognition have phased-out
