T6, Wk4, Day 349 - Monday. Radiology Rotation

These are pictures from the Radiology Conference Room at Logan. The picture to the right is where one of the DACBRs would sit to read digital x-rays. There's a microphone so others in the room can hear what's being diagnosed.


The picture to the left shows viewing screens for other students and doctors to view and learn from while the main doctor is going over various diagnostic imaging files. I was going to say x-ray but we also got to look at several MRIs and Ultra sounds in addition to digital x-rays.





This last picture is from an opposing side of the room and shows where that old fashioned type of x-ray film is looked at, by shining light through the developed film.

What I found very interesting was the only thing that differentiates digital x-ray from conventional x-ray is the film and the processing machine. Any current x-ray machine can produce digital x-rays with the correct type of film and processor. Digital film is good for about 10,000 exposures.
