father of radiology
wilhelm conrad rontgen
developed a large glass tube partially evacuated; has a cathode and anode attached to an electrical supply
crooks tube ; Sir william Crooks
wilhelm conrad rontgen developed xrays on
november 8, 1985
the first xray was of
wilhelm’s wife (Bertha’s) hand with a ring
honored as the first nobel prize winner for physics in 1901
wilhem conrad rontgen
uses iodinated contrast media to aid in diagnosing disease of the heart and blood vessels
cardiovascular interventional radiography (VI)- angioplasty
placing a catheter into the heart is called
cardiac catherization
uses radioactive substances to image the body and treat disease
nuclear medicine
used to diagnose osteoporosis
bone densitometry
measurement of the lumbar spine and hip is most often performed when diagnosing
osteoporosis (bone densitometry)
visualization of structures of the body by recording the reflection of pulses of high frequency sound wave directed into tissue
medical sonography
capacity to operate or work
energy
energy that is transmitted by waves through space or through a medium(matter)
radiation
energy forms for imaging (6)
- sound-mechanical
- electrical
- heat (thermal)
- magnetic
- electromagnectic
- nuclear
xrays have the ability to ionize when
a neutral atom gains or loses an electron
xrays are created when electrons,
moving at high speeds are suddenly stopped
the making of records, known as ___, of internal structures of the bodynby passage of xrays through the body to act on a specifically sensitized film or imaging plate or system
radiographs
uses high frequency sound energy to create images; does not create ionizations
medical sonography (ultrasounds)
high strength magnetic fields and radio waves to create images; no ionizations
Magnetic resonance imaging (MR)
uses xray energy and sophisticated software to create images of the human body; shows different planes of the body
CT (CAT) scan
gamma radiation; uses energy of the atom to create images ; uses radioactive isotopes to create gamma radiation
nuclear energy
uses xrays to visualize blood vessels and heart anatomy
cardiovascular interventional imaging (angiography)
requires the use of a catheter and injection of xray contrast material to visualize anatomy
cardiovascular interventional imaging (angiography)
must be compiled by the program according to the guidelines set by JRCERT
self study
only agency recognized by the US Department of education to accredit radiography program
Joint review committee on education in radiologic technology (JRCERT)
registered diagnostic medical sonographer
RDMS
ASRT
American society of radiologic technologist
AERS
association of educators in radiologic sciences
ACR
american college of radiology
AMA
American medical association
an effective treatment of atherosclerosis that uses a special catheter with a balloon tip is
angiplasty
study of diseases of muscles and bones is
orthopedics
discipline that visualizes sectional anatomy by the recording of a predetermined plane in the body is
computed tomography (CT)
organization that certifies individuals in radiography
American registy of radiologic technologists
organization that represents the interest of radiologic technologists to the public and federal government
american society of radiologic technologists
organization is a sponsor of the Joint Review committee on education in radiologic technology and the american registry of radiologic technologists
american society of radiologic technologists
Comprehensive document that is complied by the program acknowledging the guidelines set by the accrediting agency
self study
Currently nominated by the American College of Radiology, the American Society of Radiologic technologists, the Association of Educators in Imaging and Radiologic Sciences, and the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators
joint review committee on education in radiologic technology (JRCERT)
the principle organization of physicians trained in radiology and medical radiation physics.

photoelectric absorption
electron is totally absorbed
what is responsible for occupational exposure
compton scattering
xrays travel in
waves
xrays are manmade form of
electromagnetic energy
the longer the wavelength, the ___ energy
less
provides guidelines for physician/ patient relationships, the right to privacy, and for the treatment of curative purposes only
