Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT01:30

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

1.4K
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

782
Description
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

556
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (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...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

1.1K
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

558
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

The Mammary Glands01:12

The Mammary Glands

2.5K
The female breast is a hemispheric projection of variable size positioned anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. A fascia layer composed of dense, irregular connective tissue connects it to these muscles.
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Workforce Studies
  • Occupational Health
  • Radiology Practice Management

Background:

  • Federal and state laws mandate lactation facilities for eligible employers.
  • Limited data exist on lactation facility availability within the radiology workforce.
  • The American College of Radiology (ACR) aims to address this data gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the availability of dedicated lactation facilities in U.S. radiology and radiation oncology practices.
  • To understand the current status of workplace support for breastfeeding professionals in radiology.

Main Methods:

  • The Practice of Radiology Environment Database identified practice leaders.
  • An electronic survey, developed by the ACR Commission on Human Resources, was administered.
  • Leaders were asked if their practice offered a dedicated lactation facility.

Main Results:

  • 32% of 1,815 practice group leaders responded to the survey (579 responses).
  • Of 394 respondents to the lactation question, only 13% (51 practices) reported having dedicated lactation facilities.
  • 87% (343 practices) do not provide dedicated lactation facilities.

Conclusions:

  • The majority of U.S. radiology and radiation oncology practices lack dedicated lactation facilities.
  • This deficiency impacts breastfeeding mothers and babies, potentially affecting workforce health and reducing absenteeism.
  • Addressing this gap is crucial for supporting healthcare professionals and promoting public health.
