Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT01:30

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

220
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

110
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...

Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

7.2K
The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

4.1K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

5.5K
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...

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern01:29

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

99
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Healthcare Management
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Limited research exists on radiographers' environmental sustainability attitudes and practices.
  • This study addresses the gap by surveying radiographers' perceptions and barriers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey radiographers' perceptions, practices, and barriers to environmental sustainability in radiology.
  • To identify key challenges hindering the adoption of sustainable practices.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to 104 practicing radiographers globally via Google Forms.
  • Data collected covered demographics, climate change awareness, sustainability perceptions, barriers, and current practices.
  • Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • 74% of radiographers believe sustainability practices in radiology need improvement.
  • Low-energy lighting (60%) and real-time power monitoring (41%) are common energy-saving strategies.
  • Lack of time (50%) and leadership support (48%) are significant barriers.

Conclusions:

  • Radiographers acknowledge the importance of sustainability but face significant barriers.
  • Lack of leadership, support, and facility limitations impede adoption of sustainable practices.
  • Radiology departments must provide resources, training, and foster collaboration for sustainable healthcare.
