Orphan date February 2009 X ray Markers , also known as, max markers, lead Pb markers, lead markers, x ray lead markers, or radiographic film identification markers, are used to mark x ray films, both in hospital s and in industrial workplaces such as on aeroplane parts and engine motors . They are used on radiographic images to determine anatomical side of body. Most X ray markers consist of a right and a left letter with the Radiologic technologist technologist s or radiographer radiographer s initials. There are also available of markers to indicate positioning of the body e.g. supine, or as to time when performing procedures such as an Intravenous pyelogram . It has been suggested that radiographic markers are a potential fomite for harmful bacteria such as MRSA , and that they should be cleaned on a regular basis this, however, is not always done. ref Maddison & Tugwell. 2011.

File CT Phantom 589.JPG thumb Imaging phantoms , or simply phantoms , are specially designed objects that are scanned or imaged in the field of medical image medical imaging to evaluate, analyze, and tune the performance of various imaging devices. These objects are more readily available and provide more consistent results than the use of a living subject or cadaver, and likewise avoid subjecting a living subject to direct risk. Phantoms were originally employed for use in 2D x ray based imaging techniques such as radiography or fluoroscopy , though more recently phantoms with desired imaging characteristics have been developed for 3D techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging MRI , computed tomography CT , Medical ultrasonography Ultrasound , Positron emission tomography PET , and other imaging methods or modalities. A phantom used to evaluate an imaging device should respond in a similar manner to how human tissues and organs would act in that specific imaging modality. For instance, phantoms made for 2D radiography may hold various quantities of radiocontrast x ray contrast agents with similar x ray absorbing properties to normal tissue to tune the contrast of the imaging device or modulate the patients exposure to radiation. In such a case, the radiography phantom would not necessarily need to have similar textures and mechanical properties since these are not relevant in x ray imaging modalities. However, in the case of ultrasonography, a phantom with similar rheological and ultrasound scattering properties to real tissue would be essential, but x ray absorbing properties would not be needed. ref citation last Iturralde first Mario P. location Boca Raton, Fla. publisher CRC Press year 1990 pages 564 isbn 0849332338 title CRC dictionary and handbook of nuclear medicine and clinical imaging ref References Reflist 2 Medical imaging Category Image processing Category Medical imaging fa ... more details

Graduates include the current head of school, outgoing dean and the president of the University College Dublin . The School offers 4 different programmes, 3 Undergraduate progammes Medicine MB BCh BAO, BSc Biomedical Health and Life Sciences and the BSc Radiography. UCDs degree in Radiography is the oldest in Europe with the first graduates being conferred in 1994. It is the only Diagnostic Imaging Programme in the Republic of Ireland. The School is now gaining in strength and reputation with the opening of a new, purpose built state of the art building on the Belfield campus, the heart of the university. The clear advantage of this is its close proximity to the Conway Institute one of Europe s leading biomedical and biomolecular research centres , Ireland s Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases, and the Centre for Synthesis and Chemical Biology. Students study a 3 year pre clinical programme a pre medicine year is completed by approximately 85 Irish Leaving Certificate Leaving Certificate students and then study two final years in the affiliated teaching hospitals, either St. Vincent s University Hospital or the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital . Upon graduation students are awarded bachelors degrees in medicine, surgery and obstetrics. The medical school has a twinning medical programme with the Penang Medical College . There is also a small group of North American students entering each year.

A good knowledge in anatomy and science is needed. Although this job starts at band 5 in the agenda for change pay scale of the NHS. 90 of graduated radiographers successfully receive a placement in the NHS. There was a shortage of radiographers originally but now they are growing numbers with a number of universities accepting people onto this degree, although they are more females registered males are slowly growing. Your life as a diagnostic radiographer would be based in the NHS hospital x ray unit or even A&E departments. It is required to work unsocial and night shifts, although extra payment could be enhanced, bringing people into the x ray room and using highly specialist state of the art equipment, which is worth millions of pounds. You would normally hand the report over to the physician s or surgeon s, or a physician associate , which would then have a look at it and discuss with other healthcare staff. You would definitely work closely with other staff, and you must have a good understanding and knowledge of the x rays, which will be studied in the degree. The demand of NHS radiographers is extremely high, as they are a vital and important role in the NHS. Your day will start slow and gradually get busier.
