Abstract:
Reflecting about radiological technologies and the need for permanent education to address issues related to the application of ionizing radiation on radiological nursing practice is of a great importance, due to the technological progress that revolutionized practices in health and, consequently, the nursing care. So, these technologies strongly focus on labor and worker's qualification. This reflection happens in the acting areas of radiological nursing in the Radiology Services and Image Diagnosis (SRDI), as well as the need for permanent education to the safe praxis on this specialty which is presented through some authors' studies. Primarily, in relation to the radiological protection and need to qualify these workers.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
