A new method of acute urography suitable for use in any general hospital is described. It takes only 30 minutes and can be performed by the duty radiographer. The method has proved invaluable in the diagnosis and differentiation of renal colic. With radiation safeguards, it may be of value in pregnancy. It has been found useful in renal trauma and in the differential diagnosis of haematuria.

Materials and methods 11 patients (9 females, 2 male) with IS (9 thoracic curve patients and 5 thoracolumbar/lumbar curve patients) and a mean age of 16.45 years (Range 7-36 years) were treated with a four-week intensive scoliosis-specific physiotherapy course (ScolioGold). Patients’ initial x-rays were supplied in retrospect and follow-up x-rays gathered after patients’ routine check-up appoin...

  Introduction: Because radiology technologists are exposed to protracted low-dose ionizing radiation and considering the possible effects of low-dose radiation on blood factors, we aimed to investigate the effects of occupational exposure on blood factors of radiographers working in radiology departments of Khuzestan Province, Iran.   Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducte...

THIS is yet another excellent book by Professor Meschan. Although primarily for the student radiographer, it is possibly the best reference book for the trainee radiologist or doctor, working in an accident and emergency department, to learn radiological anatomy and to have at hand a book, of reasonable size, which is easily used for reference should he have any doubt regarding either the quali...

Aims: Chest X ray is the first choice for investigation of cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Radiographer technologists are responsible managing radiation exposure to patients providing adequate image quality according ALARA (As Low as Radiation Achievable) concept. The knowledge skills radiographers in performing chest radiography helps improve diagnosis diseases. aim this study was asse...
