Question 1

in factory work: amount of raw material processed by an industrial plant in a given amount of time
in MRI units: movement of patients through the scanner

Answer 1

throughput

Question 2

Perspective of viewing MRI examinations as a consumptuion, relocating anatomical images in a system of exhcnage, subject to mass production techniques of repetition and mechanization (material = MRI scans); _____ of medical services

Answer 2

commodification

Question 3

strategies to make patients into ____: relaxation (talking, music, aromatherapy), medication (sedation-> more now allow productivity increase), open MRIs
______ are disciplined and follow strict routines of daily life
goal= accelerate process

Answer 3

docile bodies

Question 4

physicians, radiologists, technologists acknowleedge effect of MRIs as ________
-being enclosed, sensory deprived, disoriented, transformed into part of the tech
-also characteristic of technologists’ mechanical work (due to acceleration and specialization) and the limitations of their work
-referring patient as body parts
-product of assembly line production

Answer 4

dehumanization

Question 5

• ______ to the reduction of their work to question of volume, speed, repetition (by technologists and radiologists)
  -radiologists: try to avoid repetiton and fragmentation (ex: taking up jobs at academic institutions even if pay cut)
  -technologists emphasize emotional labor instead of speed and productivity (which also challenges masculinity)

Answer 5

resistance

Question 6

repetition and specialization, productivity
-causes emphasizing speed over quality of care

Answer 6

assembly-line production

Question 7

radiologists vs technologists

Answer 7

radiologists: invisible reading, more control over the way they accomplish work (choose cases and breaks), decide how much they want to earn because it is based of of insurance of patients,

technologists: wages stay the same, income of hospital offset other hospital costs…., lower in hierarchy, but the ones that work closely with machines

Question 8

call raiologists this beecause they are higher in status than other workers, scientific authority to dismiss worker safety clais, (management stais with authority granted to scientific credibility), radiologists ahve different perspectives on the effects of constant exposure to high magnitic fields than tehcnologists, who work more closely with the machine and are not considered scientific experts

Answer 8

manager-scientists
