Radiologic technology is a satisfying and rewarding career. It is a technical and refined science. As a radiological technologist, there are many essential duties and responsibilities that have to be fulfilled in order to be a good one. First of all, radiological technologists have to maintain a well-mannered and professional behavior when gathering information. They have to assure their patients that they are in good hands therefore; they give patients the uppermost quality of care and services. Second of all, the main responsibility of a healthcare provider is to keep all knowledge of a patient’s health record confidential or secluded. That means radiological technologists cannot talk about patients at home or with friends and classmates

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.

By adopting these, a more familiar atmosphere can be created where a radiographer knows what is expected of him and who is he working with. This will help in minimizing the risk factor and improving efficiency(NHS National reporting and learning service 2008).( National Patient Safety Agency, 2009).

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.

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

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.

There are not any gasps in the knowledge base and the author seems to be well informed about communication in radiography, from first view the content of abstract is well organised with clear rationale aims to perform a qualitative study (Bassett,2004).

“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

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.

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

If you have thought about becoming a Radiologic Technologist, someone who performs imaging examinations, but do not know if it is the right choice for you. This paper will inform the reader as to how to become a Radiologic Technologist, their job description, ranging from the work settings to the kind of patients they deal with, some of the challenges and rewards, including their salary as well. At the end of this paper you should be able to make up your mind on becoming one or not.

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.

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

The Purpose of this research paper is to become informed and aware of the safety requirements of x -ray equipment there is, to protect the safety of the public and imaging professional’s by improving the technical aspect of radiology technology.
