subject: Enhance Your Knowledge About The Radiology [print this page] We know that the Radiology is that branch of medical science which makes use of various medical imaging technologies which includes X rays, sound waves, magnetic fields etc to diagnose and treat diseases. These days, medical imaging has extensively simplified the diagnostic procedures to help the physicians decide the accurate course of treatment without causing much distress to the patients.
Beside diagnosis, radiologists take x rays and administer non radioactive materials into the blood streams of the patient. There is large demand for qualified and expert radiologists all over the world to meet the ever widening supply- demand gap, more and more countries are outsourcing radiologists. Online Radio Diagnosis offer a common platform for the radiologists to share ideas and information about the latest technological advancements in this field. There are also radiological journals, which publish the latest discoveries from the exciting word of medical imaging.
There are huge opportunities for qualified radiologists in trauma centres and super speciality hospitals. Their profile includes preparing the patients for radiologic examinations and positioning patients to get the best quality images. They have to set controls on the imaging machine to produce radiographs of the appropriate density, detail, and contrast. They are also responsible to make sure that patients are not exposed to radiation unnecessarily. Radiation protection devices like lead shields are used to isolate the other areas of the body. Correct positioning of radiographic equipment at the desired angle and height over the patients body is also important in ensuring a risk free imaging.
There are many specialities such as computed tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and mammography, which are used for specific applications. CT scans produce three-dimensional image and uses ionizing radiation; whereas MR uses non-ionizing radio frequency to generate images. Mammography is used for producing the images of the breast for detecting tumours and low intensity x rays are used for this type of imaging.
There are many opportunities for part-time and shift work for radiologists and now Online Radio Diagnosis is also possible by outsourcing radiology works to other expert countries. Radiologists with adequate experience can perform complex imaging procedures such as fluoroscopies to interpret the disease conditions of the soft tissues in the body. Radiology conferences and radiology media are ideal media for you to keep abreast with the latest discoveries in radiology and to familiarise with the working of radiology equipments.
