Study Notes
Imaging Modalities and Radiation
-
Ionizing Radiation Imaging Modality:
- X-ray imaging uses ionizing radiation, which has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, creating ions.
MRI Radiation
-
Primary Radiation in MRI:
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) primarily uses non-ionizing radiofrequency radiation to excite hydrogen nuclei in the body, producing detailed images.
Specialty in Radiologic Technology
-
Radiopharmaceutical Administration:
- Nuclear medicine is the specialty in Radiologic Technology that focuses on administering radioactive pharmaceuticals, which have a specific half-life, to diagnose or treat diseases.
Real-Time Imaging Modality
-
Non-Radiation Imaging:
- Ultrasound is the main imaging modality used for real-time imaging, employing sound waves rather than ionizing radiation to visualize internal structures.
Purpose of General Radiography
-
General Radiography Function:
- The primary purpose of General Radiography is to create static images of anatomical structures and help in diagnosing various medical conditions using X-ray technology.
