adverse events has only increased in clinical settings across the past decade. MRI is considered the safest imaging modality because it can produce the most information from a patient while not delivering any ionizing radiation‚ unlike x-rays‚ fluoroscopy‚ etc. New safety screening technologies and safety practices have much promise in reducing these adverse events. MRI is a noninvasive diagnostic technology that can also be used with pregnant women‚ growing children‚ but also holds a variety of

Fluoroscopy is considered the “movie equivalent” of standard x-rays because the radiologist can take snapshots while the patient is moving. This type uses more than the regular amount but it is still small. Mary Masteron once said‚ “She came up with a whole way of doing fluoroscopy‚ which is kind of like a live version of X-ray‚ so that she could see the heart as it worked‚ not frozen in a

observe X-ray effects‚ he is given credit as the discoverer of the X-ray‚ despite the amount of earlier researchers. Medical professionals use X-rays to spot fractures‚ infections and tumors. There are different types of X-rays like CAT scan and fluoroscopy‚ but the “regular” X-rays include the chest X-ray and abdominal X-ray. The very common chest X-ray can be used to identify lung diseases including pneumonia and lung cancer‚ and the abdominal X-ray can be used to identify intestinal obstruction

Chapter 1 Introduction According to Bushong (2009)‚ radiation is an energy that moves through space or matter at a very high speed. This energy can be in the form of particles‚ such as alpha or beta particles‚ which are emitted from radioactive materials‚ or waves such as light‚ heat‚ radiowaves‚ microwaves‚ x-rays and gamma rays. He also mentioned that radioactive materials which is also known as radionuclides or radioisotopes are atoms that are unstable. So‚ there is a tendency for unstable atoms

Wea`am Mohammad Al-jarie Dr. mokhleed zaza physics Medical applications of x-ray Introduction: X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers‚ corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3×1016 Hz to 3×1019 Hz) X-rays up to about 10 keV (10 to 0.10 nm wavelength) are classified as "soft" X-rays‚ and from about 10 to 120 keV (0.10 to 0.01 nm wavelength) as "hard" X-rays‚ due

transhepatic cholangiography is particularly useful in patients with bile duct strictures and tumors‚ as it defines the anatomy of the biliary tree proximal to the affected segment (Funaki‚ 2007). 7. Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with newer techniques and contrast materials‚ accurate anatomic images can be obtained of the bile ducts and the pancreatic duct. It has a sensitivity and specificity of 95 and 89 percent‚ respectively‚ at detecting

Humanity‚ constantly learning‚ growing‚ and facing more challenges each second of the day. Whether the challenges are mental or purely physical‚ we have found more efficient‚ safer‚ and easier ways of doing the tasks we may face. From moving cargo to sending information via the Internet. Probably the greatest accomplishments we have made‚ are in the studies of medicine/treatment; to be specific‚ the study of radiology. Radiology is the process of working and viewing inside the human body

DOI: 3/13/2014. The patient is a 52-year old right-hand dominant male service employee who sustained injury to his lower back while lifting a video server. MRI of the lumbar spine without contrast dated 04/02/14 showed a posterior protrusion at L4-5 with a posterior annular fissure. There is also mild to moderate spinal stenosis at this level. In addition‚ there is a disc osteophyte complex and disc space narrowing at L5-S1 with mild spinal stenosis and left greater than right mild foraminal stenosis
