Duties and Responsibilities for being an ultrasound technician are very interesting but also demanding. For example, preparing patients for procedures by taking a patients history and answering any questions about the procedure. Record findings and also keep track of patient’s records. Also have to apply a gel to aid the sound waves’ ability to show the inside of the body. Recognizing the difference between normal and abnormal Images.
MRI technologist or technicians use Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners to obtain images requested by a physician or a doctor to help in patient diagnoses. These images that have been produced have made major impacts in diagnosing diseases. It has helped diagnose cancer and many other fatal diseases. Also those images have helped to keep close attention to pregnancy process and as well as diagnosing any early diseases and body dysfunctions in body organs such as the brain for tumors or so on. MRI technologists or technicians prepare and operate MRI equipments and have to be good in positioning patients correctly and effectively enough to get the best diagnostic images.
(Name) (Subject) (Name of Professor) (Date) There is no denying that X-rays are a potential threat to a person's health, but that threat also applies to the Radiologic Technician. X-rays are performed on a patient as directed by a Physician to find the cause of the physical malfunction in the body. This is so the patient does not have to go through life with the same pain day after day. However, a careful balance must be struck because of radiation. The health of RadiologicTechnologists and the patient are at risk when concerning X-rays because of the gamma radiation rays, yet X-rays are vital to finding out what the medical issue is.
(Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010) Viewing the screen during the scan, sonographers look for subtle visual cues that contrast healthy areas with unhealthy ones. They decide whether the images are satisfactory for diagnostic purposes and select which ones to store and show to the physician. Sonographers take measurements, calculate values, and analyze the results in preliminary findings for the physicians. (BLS, 2010) In addition to working directly with patients, diagnostic medical sonographers keep patient records and adjust and maintain equipment. They also may prepare work schedules, evaluate equipment purchases, or manage a sonography or diagnostic imaging department.

30 Oct. 2014. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s webpage on Cardiomyopathy provides a lot of information about what Cardiomyopathy is and how to treat and prevent it. They also tell people who is at risk for preventative factors. When diagnosed patients can open the tab to information on living with cardiomyopathy and treatment options. The NHLBI also opens the door to information on research and clinical trials on cardiomyopathy.
Since the patient has back and neck pain, doctors can test for any bone related problems. | CAT SCAN | A CAT scan is also a viable option because it provides images of both bones and soft tissues. This will allow doctors to find any muscle related or bone related problems in a single test. | MRI | Although an MRI provides clearer images of soft tissues compared to CAT scans, it makes it harder to differentiate between inflammation, scar tissues and tumors, which means other tests will also have to be done so an MRI is not the best option. | PET SCAN | A PET scan is also not a logical option since it looks at functions of cells as oppose to their structure.
The technician also swabbed the open wound in grandmother’s right foot. Another laboratory technician entered the room and a blood sample was drawn. As a result, during the waiting period for the blood work and culture results, grandmother would remain in the isolation room until the MRSA infection was ruled –out. In brief MRSA, both CA-MRSA and HA-MRSA, are menacing infectious bugs that are becoming epidemic. Through education about the disease, one can become more attuned to the clinical manifestations this disease presents.
They do this while taking into account the patient's physical, emotional and mental ability and the nature of injury or disease suspected or present. As a radiologic technologist or “X-Ray tech", this person will produce films of different parts of the body to diagnose medical problems. This will prepare the patient for radiologic exams by explaining the procedure, removing jewelry, etc that can interfere with the machinery, and positioning patients so they may be properly x-rayed. To prevent unnecessary exposure to radiation, the patient is covered with lead vest or other plates. Then the x-ray equipment would be positioned to the correct angle and height over the appropriate area of a patient’s body.
When a patient is taking these tests they will be asked about their medical history. This is important as it may indicate any previous conditions which may have had an effect on the current disorder they have. This stage should not be rushed as it is important in the diagnosis of the person, the doctor will investigate patterns based on the information the patient is giving about medical history and family
