I everyone and welcome to my blog !

I just find a new website about Diagnostic Imaging on this site: Internet Scientific Publication. I juste write a summary about it, but if you want more information about the day of a Radiologist, just click the link below. 


 In this new website, it talk about a day as a radiologist. You can study this program in Ahuntsic College, Dawson College and also Sainte-Foy College. Now, I am not in this program, because I have some courses I need to do be accepting in, but the next session I’ll study in this program. I chose this website because it’s well explain about Diagnostic Imaging, You navigate easly and it’s give you a lot of information about it.

In this website, there is a diagnostics named Sumer K. Sethi, a Sr Consultant Radiologist, VIMHANS, Editor-in-Chief, Internet Journal of Radiology, CEO Teleradiology Providers, describe his day when he working in the hospital. First of all, the radiologist started his day by doing some operation call CT in the neurosurgery department and then there was a discussion about medical terms, like residual mass,  . Then, it’s followed by some ultrasound operation, one was an intra abdominalectopic pregnancy and the other one was bircornate uterus. After that, he was doing some routine MRI, there was a case about a child who developed hemiplegia and then a head injury, so this is the first part of his job.


The second part, is when he takes his coffee break and a Neuroradiology meets discussion about Hirayama disease (a rare disease) and another about post radiotherapy. After another coffee break, he meet the pathologist named  glioma, who is a  cardiologist and they talk about case like a clear cut Meningioma radiologically. To end the day he has some patient with suspected problem, like meningitis and MR.


Diagnostic imaging is the one of the most integral parts of any hospital and in no other part. 

Here some term to know more information that can help you about Diagnostic imaging, I gave you the link of the site where I find these words:

- CT scans (Computed tomography)
  
          It uses special x-ray equipment to make cross-sectional pictures of your body.




 
- MIR scans (Magnetic resonance imaging)
It uses a large magnet and radio waves to look at organs and structures inside your body. That also examing you brain.

 - X-Rays (Radiography)

- Nuclear scans (Radioisotope scans, Radionuclide scans)
use radioactive substances to see structures and functions inside your body. They use a special camera that detects radioactivity.
