Diagnostic testing for the patient with acute appendicitis included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a Karl Storz image of the appendix. An MRI is a non-invasive technique in which the patient is placed in a magnetic field to examine their body anatomy (Pagana & Pagana, 2014). This form of diagnostic testing provides healthcare professionals with imaging on a specific area of the body with the ability to differentiate between blood vessels, necrotic, and healthy tissue (Pagana & Pagana,…

The trauma radiographer should take the important responsible in radiation protection of the patient, member of the trauma team, and the radiographer himself or herself. Member of the trauma team cannot leave the patient in critical situation while imaging procedure are being performed. The unnecessary radiation exposure should be avoid and the trauma radiographer must unsure the team member are protected. In general radiography, common practices should minimal the radiation exposure include…

only take X-rays of bones. Actually radiographic images are taken of every part of the human body, including the abdominal structures, lungs,…

Humans may experience daily exposure to genotoxic chemicals. Exposure to these genotoxic chemicals is often inevitable because they can be found in any environment, from an individual’s home to his or her workplace. The exposure to genotoxic chemicals can eventually lead to high levels of DNA damage, which has been suspected of causing cancer. The DNA damage caused by these chemicals can be measured by sister chromatid exchange. Sister chromatid exchange is a sensitive biomarker that is used to…

Historical developments in the treatment of vascular malformation has been since 1762 by Hunter. Further, in 1851 Virchow and others developed a classification of telangiectasias, and of venous, arterial, arteriovenous, and cystic angiomas. The year of 1889, marked the successful excision of an intracranial AVM that was performed. Vascular malformations can be classified as Capillary telangiectasias, Cavernous malformations, Venous malformations, Arteriovenous malformations. The paper focuses…

The Radiology site specializes in treating and diagnosing diseases and injuries through the use of imaging such as x-rays, CAT scans, MRI’s , and ultrasounds. The personnel there is willing to walk someone through the procedure, and happy to answer any questions. The radiologic technologists (RN’s) are there to help ensure the patient receives the best treatment possible for the best possible results. They make sure both the patient and themselves stay safe from too much exposure radiation, and…

Three words, Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It’s the MRI, truly a miracle machine! The MRI has helped people in the past, is helping people in the present, and will help people in the future. Inside is high tech machinery that has both mechanically, and has chemically powerful equipment. The inventor is remarkably intelligent, as well as his invention. Both his religious and medical beliefs played a role in the creation. Question is, how did all this come to be? As a break though in the 20th…

X-rays are a very powerful and valuable technique that can provide important and lifesaving information. Fluoroscope, is an x-ray device that allows physicians to view live images inside the human body that are projected onto a viewing monitor during a diagnostic and intraoperative procedures. This machine uses X-rays to give real-time video images on the area of interest making it possible to see internal organs in motion such as blood flow and catheter insertion. A Fluoroscopy captures these…

the three modalities assists medical staff every day in different ways to save lives. Fluoroscopic Radiology, also known as real time imaging, (Bushong pg.637)is when x-rays flow continuously to helps doctors to see the function of the body while in motion. . With a regular diagnostic X-ray can only see a still frame when an x-ray is produced. For example, a patient comes into a medical facility…

If installed correctly and operated properly, MRI exams should pose no outstanding risks to one’s health. However, if MRI suits are not properly designed nor operated correctly, MRI exams may result in building damages along with fatal accidents to patients. This is due to the extremely strong magnetic field, foreign bodies containing metal are strongly attracted to the magnet, and the improper use of the equipment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a popular machine used to image the human…
