X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

5.7K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.3K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

304
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...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

329
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

220
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...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

5.3K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Area of Science:

  • Medical ethics
  • Radiology
  • Health equity

Background:

  • Medicine often incorrectly assumes race is a biological determinant of disease, impacting diagnosis and treatment.
  • This flawed approach, termed race-based medicine, contributes to disparities in health outcomes, particularly for minority populations.
  • The influence of race-based medicine in radiology, though subtle, is pervasive across all practice aspects.

Approach:

  • This review synthesizes historical context and current scenarios where race influences radiological practice.
  • It critically analyzes the assumptions underlying race-based medicine within the field.
  • Strategies for mitigating the negative impacts of race-based medicine are presented.

Key Points:

  • The concept of race as a biological factor in medicine is scientifically unfounded and ethically problematic.
  • Radiology's interpretation of test results and clinical decisions can be inequitably influenced by race-based assumptions.
  • Addressing these biases is crucial for achieving equitable healthcare in radiology.

Conclusions:

  • Re-evaluating the role of race in clinical practice is essential for dismantling health inequities.
  • Implementing evidence-based, race-neutral approaches in radiology can improve care for all patients.
  • Mitigation strategies aim to foster a more just and equitable future in medical imaging.
