In projectional radiography an AEC system uses one or more physically thin radiation ionization chambers (the "AEC detector") which is positioned between the X-ray source and the x-ray receptor.
International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists (ISRRT) is a non-governmental organization [1] formed in 1959 [2] which aims to give direction to the Radiological profession as a whole through collaboration with national representative bodies.
The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) is a professional membership association that serves medical imaging technologists, radiation therapists, and radiologic science students. [1] The organization, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico provides its members with ongoing education and professional development opportunities.
A radiological information system (RIS) [1] is the core system for the electronic management of medical imaging departments. The major functions of the RIS can include patient scheduling, resource management, examination performance tracking, reporting, results distribution, and procedure billing. [2]
Taking an X-ray image with early Crookes tube apparatus, late 1800s.. For the first three decades of medical imaging's existence (1897 to the 1930s), there was no standardized differentiation between the roles that we now differentiate as radiologic technologist (a technician in an allied health profession who obtains the images) versus radiologist (a physician who interprets them).
The American Nurses Credentialing Center offers a board certification in Nursing Informatics. [52] For Radiology Informatics, the CIIP (Certified Imaging Informatics Professional) certification was created by ABII (The American Board of Imaging Informatics) which was founded by SIIM (the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine) and ARRT ...
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a fluoroscopy technique used in interventional radiology to clearly visualize blood vessels in a bony or dense soft tissue environment. Images are produced using contrast medium by subtracting a "pre-contrast image" or mask from subsequent images, once the contrast medium has been introduced into a ...
Radiography is an imaging technique using X-rays, gamma rays, or similar ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation to view the internal form of an object.Applications of radiography include medical ("diagnostic" radiography and "therapeutic radiography") and industrial radiography.
