Radiography

As I rotated through computed tomography (CT), I noted that radiologic technologists do not utilize in-plane shields as they do in radiography. Because shielding is emphasized so much in radiography, and because computed tomography is based on the same physics, I wondered why a technologist could not shield the areas that were not of interest. When I asked, some would say that they do not shield because streaking would show on the image and it would mess up their machine. Others told me that shields

The first modality is radiography which utilizes x-rays to generate images. Mammography and Computed Tomography (CT) also use x-rays. Depending on which test is used, hard or soft tissue can be visualized. Classical radiography is used to create images of hard tissue like bones, and can be used to diagnose broken bones. Radiography can provide projections of the human body that showcase the depth and position of the anatomy. Screen-film radiography and digital radiography have spatial resolutions

are Mammography, Fluoroscopy, and Interventional Radiography. Mammography is very important for several reasons. The most important reason is that a mammogram can find breast cancer and save one’s life if found early enough. That is why it is very crucial that women have annual

Why is radiography important in the medical field? Earlier there was only x-ray methods of detecting a disease but things have change, there are other methods for example imaging or ultrasound methods. Radiology is also used for treating and diagnosing of various types of injuries or disease. It could be used to destruct tumors by radiation. Radiography is important in the medical field because is best practical way to diagnose, monitor treatment and detect progression or relapse of many of great

Advantages and Disadvantages of Digital Radiography The advantages and disadvantages of digital radiography can differ from technician to technician. Older generation technicians are usually set in their ways and do not like change very much. They did not grow up around digital radiography as say a young technician. The younger generation now a days learned about digital radiography in school and have a lot of good things to say about it. Advantage #1 Advantage #1 is higher quality of care. Patients

to compare radiological quality and radiation dose using digital radiography (DR) and conventional screen film (SF) radiography in an abdominal radiography. The study used eleven patients between the ages 18-27 to undergo a Small Bowel Follow-Through (SBFT) examination. The examination included two radiography images. For each examination, one of the radiographs was done using DR equipment and the other was done using SF radiography. In order to create similar viewing conditions the DRs were printed

Dental Radiography DES 1200 Dental Radiology Yanelys Ruiz Miami Dade College The Advantages of Panoramic Dental Radiography Panoramic Dental Radiography refers to a two-dimensional x-ray examination that captures a single image of the mouth including surrounding structures like the teeth, tissues, the lower and upper jaws. It shows a flat detailed image of curved structures such as jaws. X-ray radiography exposes body tissues to some radiation during the procedure. Panoramic Dental Radiography is extraoral

I have chosen to study Radiography as I am very passionate about Science. Although this was never my strongest subject I always enjoyed studying the 3 science subjects and I soon developed an interest in radiography. I always worked hard to understand the fundamentals of science. I have developed an interest as I have seen people with many illnesses which had led me to want to pursue a career in radiography. My passion for patient care has strongly come from seeing people suffering from different

will be discussing what the advantages and the disadvantages of Digital Radiography in Diagnostic Radiology. Further more present factors with each subject showing how they are distinguished as an advantage and an disadvantage. Time, money, and radiation dosage to the patient are very important factors these days because of how many different regulations there are and the concerns for the patient as well. Digital Radiography also known as DR is static images produced with a fan x-ray beam intercepted

Digital radiography (DR) is a revolutionary invention in radiography. With this technology, no cassette is needed for an x-ray examination meaning that there is no need to reload films or to erase imaging plate in every examination. This is a distinctive feature which conventional radiography and computed radiography (CR) do not have. DR was first introduced in 1996 (Carroll, 2011). Miniature electronic x-ray detectors are used as the image receptor. The detectors enable the direct capture of the
