Invitation to PART July 2012 Midyear Convention.

• Radiation that travels in a space possessing either mass or charge or both
• Radiation usually emitted by radioactive substance
• Occurs with radiation in motion
• Possesses high KE (Kinetic Energy)
• Includes Alpha, Beta, neutrons and other nuclear fragments

2. ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

• Radiation that travels in a wave form, accompanied by electrical and magnetic field
• Radiation that has no mass and no charge
• Travels at the speed of light
• Includes x-rays and gamma rays
• Possesses Potential Energy

Do you know of any Mutual Recognition Agreements for Radiologic Technologists in ASEAN or if there were any attempts or initiatives by association of rad techs in ASEAN to go in this direction( MRA) like that for dentists, architects, engineers, doctors and nurses? Please share any info you have to help the Phil. Board of RadTech in uplifting our profession.

Thanks!

Below are the most common Skull shapes and their brief description:

• Mesocephaly – average type of skull

• Brachycephaly - Short head, Premature craniosynostosis of coronal and lambdoidal sutures, Bilateral closure

• Dolichocephaly - Long head, Sagittal suture closes early

• Oxycephaly/Turricephaly/Acrocephaly - Pointed head, Early closure of all sutures

• Palgiocephaly - Oblique head, Unilateral closure of coronal and lambdoidal sutures

• Scapocephaly - Boat head, Premature closure of sagittal suture, Same with dolichocephaly

• Trigonocephaly - Triangular head, Premature closure of metopic suture

• Kleeblattschadel - Clover leaf, Premature closure of all suture except the squamosal

•       Also known as white x-rays or white radiation
•       Comes from a German word (bremsen “to brake” and Strahlung “radiation”) which means “braking radiation” or “slowing down radiation”.
•       They are high energy x-rays
•       Responsible for the production of an image in the radiograph
•       Useful radiation as compared to characteristic x-rays
•       Incident electron penetrates the shell up to the nuclear space, it decelerates and changes velocity then produces EMR (electromagnetic radiation) called Bremsstrahlung

In addition, the plastic frame has a super-shape-retaining durability and high heat-resistance that I can wear it any time of the day! It has a splendid design on the temples with special plum flowers pattern design. There is an embossing design at the ends of the temples that stops the frame from sliding down, which I really hate.

The Radiologic Physics is divided into two, based on CHED Memo 18, Radiologic Technology Policies, Standards and Guidelines (PSG). In line with this, the book is likewise divided into two (Book 1 and Book 2). Topics contained in this book are also patterned on the PSG’s outline of Radiologic Physics, Equipment and Maintenance I and II.

At the beginning of each chapter, objectives are set and teachers can determine if those objectives are met by allowing the students to answer several activities from the corresponding workbook.

Moreover, to make the topic more interesting, they are presented in bulleted form and mostly explained in a manner that students can fully comprehend plus some illustrations or images to explain it better.

When it comes to problem solving such as half life, equivalent dose, absorbed dose, wave equation and inverse square law, examples are provided plus detailed instructions and explanations on how to solve the problem. Please see some of the snapshots I have posted below on the contents of the book and workbook.

I am planning to publish this book so that it can be available in bookstores nationwide but my location (which is not from Manila where publishers are) makes it not easy for me to do so as of the moment. I have already submitted this book to a publisher and I am just waiting for their feedbacks before it will be officially published. and it has already been approved for publishing. As of posting time, it is now in the printing press and will be available in Jade bookstores nationwide sooner.

So, please be patient as of the moment and I will definitely inform you if it is officially out in the market.

Kilovoltage (kV) is also a secondary controlling factor of density. Higher kV, resulting in both more numerous x-rays and greater energy x-rays, causes more x-ray energy to reach the IR, with a corresponding increase in overall density. A general rule of thumb states that a 15% increase in kV will increase film density similar to doubling the mAs.

Other factors may affect radiographic contrast. The amount of scatter radiation the film-screen receives influences the radiographic contrast. Scatter radiation is radiation that has been changed in direction and intensity as a result of interaction with patient tissue. The amount of scatter radiation produced is dependent on the intensity of the x-ray beam, the amount of tissue irradiated and the type/thickness of the tissue. Close collimation of the x-ray field reduces the amount of scatter produced, thereby increasing contrast. Close collimation also reduces the radiation dose to the patient and the technologist.
