Lesson 2 -Nature Of Medical Technology Flashcards
Primarily concerned with the study of the natural world and the interrelationship among the biological, psychological, and even the social world.
Science
Defined as first, as a physical artefact, machine, or instrument; second, as an activity or a means to accomplish a goal; and third, as knowledge.
Technology
Is a design for instrumental action that reduces the uncertainty in the cause-effect relationships involved in achieving a desired outcome
Technology
Who said “technology is a design for instrumental action that reduces the uncertainty in the cause-effect relationships involved in achieving a desired outcome.”
Rogers (1983)
It consists of physical elements such as equipment, materials, or products, and intangible elements, such as knowledge, skills, procedures, principles, or information base required to successfully implement the technology.
Technology
Is designed to improve the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of diseases.
Medical technology
In which republic act does defines the scope of work of the medical technology professionals
Republic Act 5527
Another term form Republic act 5527?
Medical Technology Act of 1969
Is a duly registered physician who is specially trained in methods of laboratory medicine, or the gross and microscopic study and interpretation of tissues, secretions and excretions of the human body and its functions in order to diagnose disease, follow its course, determine the effectivity of treatment, ascertain cause of death, and advance medicine by means of research
Pathologist
Is always considered to head a clinical laboratory and monitor all laboratory results. A laboratory result without the signature of a pathologist may not be considered valid.
Pathologist
Is a person certified by and registered with the Board of Medical Technology and qualified to assist a medical technologist and/or qualified pathologist in the practice of medical technology
Medical laboratory technician
Is an individual trained to draw blood either for laboratory tests or for blood donations.
Phlebotomist
Is a laboratory personnel who works with the pathologist to detect changes in body cells which may be important in the early diagnosis of diseases.
Cytotechnologist
Is a laboratory personnel responsible for the routine preparation, processing, and staining of biopsies and tissue specimens for microscopic examination by a pathologist.
Histotechnologist
Is a health care professional who works alongside the nuclear physicians.
Nuclear medical technologist
They apply their knowledge of radiation physics and safety regulations to limit radiation exposure, prepare and administer radiopharmaceuticals, and use radiation detection devices and other kinds of laboratory equipment that measure the quantity and distribution of radionuclides deposited in the patient or in the patient’s specimen.
Nuclear medical technologist
They studies the effects of toxic substances on the physiological functions of human beings, animals, and plants to develop data for use in consumer protection and industrial safety programs.
Toxicologist
They conducts studies to determine physiological effects of various substances on laboratory animals, plants, and human tissues using biological and biochemical techniques.
