Radiology's reach extends beyond earthly bounds, playing a crucial role in space medicine. Astronauts, exposed to unique health challenges in space, rely on imaging techniques for comprehensive healthcare. From monitoring bone density loss due to microgravity to diagnosing potential injuries, radiology ensures the well-being of those venturing beyond our planet. Portable ultrasound and X-ray ...
Radiology hanging protocols are powerful tools that simplify the interpretation of images. These protocols are predefined templates that dictate how medical images, including X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, are displayed on diagnostic workstations. They streamline the viewing process by specifying factors such as image layout, size, orientation, and positioning on the screen. Let’s explore the ...
Thomas Edison, renowned for inventions like the light bulb, made an impactful foray into radiology in 1896. Collaborating with Clarence Dally, he pioneered the fluoroscope, revolutionizing medical imaging. This real-time X-ray visualization device allowed dynamic observation of internal structures, a leap beyond traditional radiography. Edison's keen focus on improving X-ray tubes influenced ...
It was in 1972 when the world witnessed the unveiling of the first computed tomography (CT) scanner. British engineer Sir Godfrey Hounsfield, along with South African physicist Allan Cormack, shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking invention.
The CT scanner represented a seismic shift in medical imaging, offering a revolutionary way to visualize the ...
