Radiation Energy that is transmitted by waves.
Energy Capacity to operate or work.
Wavelength Low energy - low frequency; High energy - High frequency.
Ionization Any process by which a neutral atom gains or loses an electron.
Ionization (X-ray context) Free electron is removed from an atom by the action of an X-ray.
Modalities Radiography, Sonography, Nuclear medicine technology, MRI, CT, Mammography,
Cardiac Interventional Radiography, Vascular interventional radiography.
Radiography Uses electromagnetic energy in the form of X-rays to create medical images.
Sonography Uses high-frequency sound energy to create medical images.
Nuclear Medicine Uses the nuclear energy of the atom to create medical images.
CT Scanning Uses X-ray energy and sophisticated software to create cross-sectional images of
the human body.
Mammography Uses low dose x-rays to see inside breast tissue to check for early signs of cancer.
, Radiation Therapy Uses very-high-energy ionizing radiation to treat malignant tumors (cancer).
Electromagnetic Energy Plays an important role in Radiologic and Imaging Sciences.
Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen Discovered X-rays on November 8th, 1895.
First known X-ray image Is of Röntgen's wife's hand.
Diagnostic Medical Sonography Uses high-frequency sound energy to create medical images.
Cardiovascular Interventional Technology (CVIT) Uses X-rays to visualize human blood vessels and heart anatomy.
Radiopharmaceuticals Administered to patients to assess physiological functioning.
Bone Densitometry Ionizing used to diagnose osteoporosis.
Technologist vs Technician Distinction in roles within radiology.
Therapeutic services Treat or cure, e.g., radiation therapy.
