Diagnostic Imaging: X-Ray Diagnostic Imaging is medical tools used by doctors to see inside our bodies without actually opening the body. Diagnostic imaging can involve the use of radiation which could be dangerous if exposed to large amounts of. Diagnostic imaging allows doctors to find tumors‚ broken bones‚ pneumonia‚ etc. In general‚ diagnostic imaging is very helpful. X-Rays: This was one of the first types of diagnostic imaging. It uses radiation called Electromagnetic Waves. These

Examples of ionizing radiation include: • alpha particles • beta particles • neutrons • gamma rays • x-rays Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to ionize atoms in the material it interacts with. Examples of non-ionizing radiation include: • microwaves • visible light • radio waves • TV waves • Ultraviolet radiation (except for the very

When “The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury was written‚ mankind had made great progress with inventions such as the television. However‚ with these amazing technological advances‚ children become more prone to be in front of a screen rather than playing outside. In the story‚ Bradbury wrote about the effects of these improvements. Through imagery‚ he created the illusion of isolation through lonely‚ unhappy‚ and descriptive language. This leaves readers shocked with the realism of the story. Bradbury

understanding of their condition. One benefit of digital x-ray has become common in most hospitals and clinics is that it creates a digital picture archive within hospital communication systems allowing doctors to have easy access their patient images. It is designed to replace film in just about any existing X-ray imaging equipment used today and does not require film developers‚ processing chemicals or storage space. Another benefit is that digital X-ray images can be obtained almost instantly and their

X-rays are electromagnetic rays that pass through the patient allowing the radiographer to see inside the patient due to the different types of attenuation of the body. These x-rays can cause harm to a person if used improperly or overexposed. The way they do that is through ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is when the x-ray particle goes into the body and they carry enough energy to remove an electron from

At just 30 years old‚ Ray Hinton was convicted of killing two restaurant managers and was sentenced to die in Alabama. At the age of 57‚ the United States Supreme Court‚ overturned that death sentence‚ which allowed him to have a new trial that resulted in his exoneration. Hinton sat with Scott Pelley for a 60 Minutes interview along with two other prisoners who was exonerated. They spoke on the feeling that comes with being falsely convicted and the ability to walk free. Hinton had stated in an

In 1899‚ Ernest Rutherford discovered that the radiation emitted by uranium consisted of two kinds of rays: one with weak penetrating power‚ (alpha rays) and another with stronger penetrating power (beta rays). A third and even more penetrating kind of ionizing radiation (gamma ray) was discovered by the French physicist Paul Villard. Alpha rays have the least penetrating ability. They cannot permeate the

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 the x-ray‚ and they also produce the film that the radiologist
