The use of X-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred to as
radiography
Wilhelm C. Roentgen's discovery of "the X-ray" is regarded as one of medicine's
most significant achievements. One of the most famous early images he created
was an X-ray image of
his wife's hand
To study the blood vessels of the brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs, contrast
material is administered into these vessels by using
catheters
Radiologic science continues to be one of the most exciting professions in
medicine. An imaging modality that uses no ionizing radiation and the energy of
radio waves and magnetic fields is
MRI.
A physician who specializes in the interpretation of medical images is known as a
radiologist
The health occupation that deals with the management of patient medical
records and medical coding is
health information services
The distinction between a technologist and a technician can be confusing to the
general public, when related to medical personnel. A key difference between the
two involves education.
A technologist typically has a higher level of education and deals with higher-
level problems.
, The medical imaging specialty of ________ uses radiopharmaceuticals and
gamma radiation in the production of medical images for patient diagnosis.
nuclear medicine
Page | 2 The current medical standard for measuring bone health, with a high degree of
accuracy, is
DEXA studies of the hip and lower spine
Many medical professions have developed "practice standards" to ensure
optimum performance of their members. The radiography "practice standards"
are developed and maintained by the
American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT)
Particular care must be taken when using radiation for medical imaging. This is
the result of radiation's ability to create ______ in human tissue and possible
biochemical changes.
ionizations
If a physician is concerned about the use of ionizing radiation, he or she may
choose to order any of the following diagnostic modalities except
radiography
The process whereby an organization seeks recognition from its peer groups
through demonstrated compliance with developed standards is termed
accreditation
Professional certification of medical imaging practitioners, such as radiographers,
is offered by the
American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT)
Many organizations are involved with medical imaging making up this great
profession. A common goal of all of these organizations is to
ensure the highest quality of care within the profession, improve the standard of
care within medical imaging, and foster positive public relations and
communication with the general public and governmental agencies.
