xiv. Lateral (LAT)- radiographs that are taken while the patient stands sideways to the x-ray tube. They can be done with either the patients left or right side next to the film. Left lateral x-rays are done with the patients left side against the film, Right laterals are done with the patients right side against the film.

The article chosen for this Scholarly Journal Critique is “Physical activity and exercise after stoma surgery: overcoming the barriers” by Sarah Russell. The article discusses a survey and its finding. There were 2631 respondents participated in the survey “Living with a stoma, your experience” in 2016. This is one of the largest known surveys to date. The survey, in particular, looked at the physical activity and the quality of life from people living with stomas in the UK. The results, presented by Sarah Russell, emphasized a fear of exercise in patients after their stoma surgery.

The problem as stated appeared to be of profound significance for determining how to best benefit children with cleft type who have a learning disability in reading. While this may be true, the study resonates that there are signs of inconclusiveness. To specifically address shortcomings to the study, however, the stated problem was not clearly visible to an average reader. The article required several readings to establish the direction the researchers were going with the study. As well as, why the researchers felt this study needed to be done. Undoubtedly, it was limited to the

Advances in both radiography and radiation treatment keep on advancing and get to be more sophisticated. Cases incorporate digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in which, apparently, there is the potential for more prominent inclusion by radiographers and by radiation therapists in image guided radiation treatment. Looking even to the moderately later past underscores the degree to which change is happening in the radiography and radiation treatment work environment. Case in point, ten years prior it was radiologists who embedded cannulas for CT patients (AIR 2014, 1). Presently radiographers and attendants attempt the assignment. In private radiology hones, Australian radiographers now consistently embed central lines and do feature joint, shoulder, arm, and tendon infusions under supervision.

Although Radiologic Technologist (R.T.’s) are most likely known as just someone who takes x-rays they do much more than that. They are responsible for setting up the x-ray equipment along with positioning a patient anatomically correct in order to take the x-rays. All while explaining the procedure to the patient (Duke University 2015). If that is not enough, they are also supposed to make sure that the correct patient is the one being examined beforehand. During the examination, if a patient is connected to an IV or a breathing device they are also supposed to make sure that it is operating properly. Making sure that a patient is comfortable, safe, and modest. So if anything where to happen R.T’s are ready to handle any medical emergency. Most importantly R.T’s are responsible for the images they are taking making sure the quality is nice and clear. The job of the Radiologic Technologist is not over when they are done with caring for a

“The ASRT Office of Practice Standards was established in 2004” to set out a guideline for continuing education. Continuing education means to keep up to date on all the new health codes, practices, equipment, and standards for taking care of patients. This in addition, is important for those who are looking into radiography or any other medical field because it teaches them how to correctly and safely treat a patient and execute what his or her job encompasses. With all the new technology coming out these days, I know I would want to know all about it so I can effectively perform my duty to the highest

X-rays may be invisible waves found on the electromagnetic spectrum which can almost make their known danger seem of little importance because our five senses cannot measure their activity, however x-rays must not be taken lightly. Radiologic Technologist must keep in mind the dangers and gravity of the force that they are working with on a daily basis. Patients should have the right to their own safety when undergoing a medical procedure that requires the use of x-rays. Radiologic Technologist are the ones responsible for upholding this safety. They can and must do this in variety of ways that include, making sure the patient is knowledgeable about the procedure, using correct collimation to the part under examination, and by shielding the

Radiologic technologists, or x-ray techs, are medical professionals who take radiographic pictures of bones. They are assistants to radiologists; the x-ray techs take the pictures and the radiologists examine the x-ray and diagnose what is wrong with the patient. “They are educated in anatomy, patient positioning, examination techniques, equipment protocols, radiation safety, radiation protection and basic patient care” (American Society of Radiologic Technologists, 2017). It is crucial that x-ray techs be exact and precise or else the pictures will be incomprehensible, thus making it nearly futile for the radiologist to interpret them.

At the same time, the future of radiology represents unprecedented opportunities and challenges for radiologists. The articles clarify some of the potential aspects for future growth with regard to the utilization of IT in radiology. For example, many image producers believe that the report is the significant work product. To these individuals, the images are solely for the use of the diagnostic interpreter. From this perspective, distribution of images is unnecessary. Although radiologists, for the most part, have embraced the sharing of images, other image producers, such as cardiologists and pathologists, have not. Overcoming this perceptual hurdle is necessary to implement a comprehensive enterprise imaging strategy. The technological revolution enabling PACS has also created platforms for teleradiology. Because radiologists no longer require proximity to clinical colleagues or patients, teleradiology makes care possible in remote locations where radiologists may not be physically

After applying and registering your x-ray machine with the department of Radiology Health Branch(RHB), they will also issue a registration sticker that also requires to be placed on your control panel in visible plain sight within the facility. In addition, to having the registration sticker being displayed on the panel as a requirement by the radiology Health Branch(RHB), they also required the facility proper name and registration status being displayed on the control panel.

The objective of this article critique is to review and evaluate several empirical studies which have examined mathematics perception cross-culturally. The main study that focuses on examining mathematics perception cross-culturally is a study that was done in 2004 by Dr. Yea-Ling Tsao. In this study, researchers proved that Taiwanese students consistently score higher in cross-national studies of achievement than American students. Several other studies were done that also support this theory. Therefore, the main purpose of this article critique is to evaluate Tsao’s study in order to properly assess both the validity of Tsao’s design and the inferences drawn from the study. This critique will also show that, while

The article which I read was called "Child abuse and neglect and adult intimate relationships: a prospective study" by Rebecca A. Colman and Cathy Spatz Widom.

In the article “Language acquisition for deaf children: Reducing the harms of zero tolerance to the use of alternative approaches” the authors talked about children need regularly and meaningfully accessible to human language. Children that have not acquired a language in the early years might never speak fluently in any language. This critical period is for children to develop their first language skills. Most children that are born deaf in the developed countries have cochlear devices implanted, but these devices do not offer accessible language to many deaf children. This device might cause the child to miss the critical period that is needed for children.

Have you ever had an x-ray taken or perhaps had a sonogram done? If so then you probably met a radiologic technologist. A radiologic technologist is a person that is trained in using x-ray and ultrasound imaging technology as a diagnostic tool or as a part of a patient’s treatment plan. A radiologic technologist creates images of specific areas and parts of the human body, including bones, tissue, blood vessels, and organs. They may also perform such imaging procedures such as mammography, x-rays, sonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Radiologic technologists work under the supervision of radiologists trained to read and interpret medical
