Energy transmitted in waves though space or matte

The practice of making x-ray images

Mechanical, Electrical, Heat, Nuclear,Electromagnetic

Energy that is transmitted in waves through space or a medium (matter, air). The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy

Non- Ionizing Radiation:

Wavelength longer than one nanometer

William Conrad Roentgen

X-Rays “discovered” November 8,1895

Produced the first known x-ray, an image of his wife’s hand

Perform tests and services to aid in the diagnosis or grading of a medical condition, confirm or rule out the presence of a disease or condition

Provide services that treat conditions, assist in recovery or teach techniques that aid in dealing with a condition

Physician who specializes in Radiology

A person qualified to provide medical imaging services in a specific modality (Radiographer) with applicable training, licensure or certification

Non R.T. with limited professional training (BMO, Limited Scope

Uses X-ray to image breast tissue

Interventional Radiography

Uses X-ray/ fluoroscopy in interventional lab. Usually includes Imaging of blood vessels. Also perform other treatments such as stone removal/stent placement. May include Cardiac Catheterization

Uses Radioactive material Radioactive material bonded with medication to be processed by the body. Patient administered Radioactive material orally or by injection.

Uses both electrically generated Radiation and Radioactive materials. Exposure at doses high enough to damage tissue. Targeted for maximum damage to malignant tissue and minimized

Uses X-ray to measure bone density

Machine generates 360 images that are reconstructed by a computer. Produces images that appear as “slices”through the body

Magnetic Resonance Imaging. (MRI)

Does not use Ionizing Radiation. Uses strong magnetic fields and Radio waves. Computer reconstruction of images in “slice” or 3-D format
