The purpose of this study was to compare the quality of the electroencephalographic (EEG) data obtained with a BraiNet template in a practical use setting, to that obtained with standard 10/20 spaced, technologist-applied, collodion-based disk leads. Pairs of 8-hour blocks of EEG data were prospectively collected from 32 patients with a Glasgow coma score of ≤9 and clinical concern for underlyi...

Many studies have demonstrated that the exposure of nuclear medicine technologists arises primarily from radioactive patients rather than from preparation of radiopharmaceuticals. However, in order to devise strategies to reduce staff exposure, it is necessary to identify the specific tasks within each procedure that result in the highest radiation doses. An ESM Eberline FH41B-10 radiation dose...

In this article, the author made an attempt to present and analyze issues related global environmental problems, in particular, role of carbon dioxide warming. Well-known facts unexpected findings are intended awaken reader a critical attitude towards prevailing beliefs these matters. From point view chemist, reality extracting CO2 from air converting it back into fuel is assessed. Simple ene...

Radiologic technology students learn ethical theory, ethical principles and the Code of Ethics. However, over time, the concepts may fade from the radiologic technologist's memory. Periodic review of the ethical concepts and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists Standards of Ethics are important to maintain a clear understanding of ethical expectations of the radiologic technologist...

The educational system in radiology programs worldwide are different. In the American system, they offer a certificate program (Cert) then an associate degree (AAS) −in some colleges diploma (Dip) − after that bachelor’s (B.S.). A radiographer a.k.a radiologic technologist can continue to get post-baccalaureate or master’s (M.S.) and −rarely America due shortage of Ph.D. programs− doctorate phi...
