Radiographic-Physiologic Paper

Do any of you know what a Diagnostics Medical Sonographer is? I don't think very many people know what Diagnostic Medical Sonographer is, so I will be telling you guys what that is. I will be telling you about the job, about how much money you get, what you do during the job, the education you need for the job, why I like this job, and why other people like this job.

The description of a medical Sonographer given by a woman named Eileen Mathers, a vascular specialist. Provides information of how a diagnostic ultrasound can be used to detect different aliments that evolves around the human organs, veins and arteries. The job of an Sonographer can examine the patient’s body so that the doctor knows what to do based off the personnel’s finding. For example an ultrasound can detect a blood clot in a person’s leg.

History of Present Illness: Mr. Magnuson is a very pleasant 77-year-old gentleman who was previously seen in this office by Elvira Aguila, MD for COPD and hypoxic respiratory failure. He is here today for routine followed up. He was last evaluated in January 2015. Since that time, he states that his dyspnea is worse. He feels that it is related to the weather. He does state that he works around the house, although he does have significant functional limitations because of shortness of breath. His wife also confirms that he is able to do less and less. He has a stable, minimal cough. He is using 4L of oxygen at night as well as, as needed throughout the day. He continues to smoke three to four cigarettes on

Crouthamel's current bronchodilator regimen. She should also continue to use her supplemental oxygen. She has essentially had no changes on her symptoms of shortness of breath and cough. I have recommended pulmonary rehabilitation, which she is unable to do at this time given the fact that she is the primary care taker of her husband who has advanced Alzheimer's dementia. I have counseled her on the need for smoking cessation and as previously stated in my last note in April, she will have repeat CT scan performed in December 2015 for 12 month follow up of a previously identified pulmonary

As healthcare professionals, those in the field of radiology work to support sick and injured patients on the road toward diagnosis and recovery. Though many may see radiographers as employees serving a purpose to aid those with a disabling injury, many fail to acknowledge the possibility of radiographers being prone to injury themselves. There are many factors that contribute to the risk of work related injuries, which include heavy physical work, lifting and forceful movements, bending and twisting, sustained poor postures, and repetitive or frequent movement patterns. As a radiographer, job requirements entail repetitive movements involving lifting and positioning patients, some of which fail to cooperate or are unable to follow verbal direction. Also, some patients who are unable to assist in moving and position create added stress to multiple joints and muscles for the technologist. When patients are maneuvered incorrectly, radiographers are prone to physical stress and musculoskeletal disorders in many different areas of the body. Additionally, the use of heavy lead aprons and the image archiving systems that are used to collect

There is a considerable controversy regarding the use of OBL in patients with respiratory failure and those on mechanical ventilation because of the potential high morbidity and mortality associated with its use in those patients (20, 21). While the role of OLB has become well established in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (18), its utility and safety are more controversial in critically ill patients. Proponents of OLB argue that solid diagnosis of underlying aetiology can be helpful in determination of the best course of treatment (22). Moreover, the risk of biopsy is fairly low if adequate precautions are taken (23). In contrast, opponents of OLB believe that defining the underlying mechanism of injury is largely academic and it will not add new to the treatment of those patients because of the lack of specific therapies for underlying aetiologies of ARDS and respiratory

What additional laboratory or radiological tests would be indicated and why? What would you expect to find?

What They Do Radiologic technologists are also known as radiographers. For this job you do diagnostic imaging examinations, such as x-rays on patients. MRI technologists use magnetic resonance imaging scanners to create diagnostic images. One duty for radiologic and MRI technologists is to adjust and maintain the imaging equipment. They need to make sure all the machines are working properly so nothing goes wrong.

Lung function tests have revealed normal spirometry, gas transfer and static lung volumes. There appears to be a fall in pre-bronchodilator FEV1, but not so FVC and TLCO comparing back to 2007??. Maximal respiratory pressures are reduced indicative of respiratory muscle/diaphragm weakness. This is consistent with what has previously been observed and the previous diagnosis of mild left hemidiaphragm weakness. I note from Tony Dortimer’s most recent letter that the coronary angiogram

Interventional Radiology was running slow today during clinical. It first started off by the nurses explaining what the day was going to consist of. After that they explained, how to get everything ready to start the day. We did not start procedures until around 0845. First patient was in for a cat scan, an I.V. was placed. The first nurse was not the best person to explain a procedure, therefore I just watched as she did the I.V. The second procedure was another cat scan, and I.V. placed too. This nurse was more willing to explain as she did the procedure. However she did have a harder time doing the I.V. because she was not having blood return. Another nurse helped her but she also had trouble getting the I.V. placed. Later after that patient, another patient was in, but he was going to be taken to catheterization lab. I did not get a chance to go with him because another patient was going to have permanent catheter insertion. I got ready to see the permanent catheter insertion, and the nurse explain what they were going to do. However I did not get to see the whole procedure because in the middle of the procedure I felt dizzy, and dizzy. Finally I got to see a nephrostomy exchange tube. The patient it’s a regular patient that

Your health should be your priority, but more often than not, life’s other stresses and strains can get in the way. Main Street Radiology has become a leader not only in bone density testing, interventional radiology, and nuclear medicine, but also in convenience and welcoming care for all of their patients.

Radiographs have always been something that I find interesting since studying Higher Physics. Having the ability to see inside the human body without opening it up is fascinating, and then being able to diagnose the patient would be very rewarding.
