BACKGROUND This study attempted to identify the sources of job stress according to job position and investigate how friendship networks affect job stress. METHODS Questionnaires based on The Health Professions Stress Inventory (HPSI) developed by Wolfgang experienced by healthcare providers were collected from 420 nurses, doctors and radiological technologists in two general hospitals in Kore...

Since the completion of the Human Genome Project, technology has developed markedly in fields such as medical genetics and genetic counseling in the medical arena. In particular, this technology has advanced the discovery of and ways of understanding various genes responsible for genetic diseases, and genetic polymorphisms thought to be associated with disease. Some have been implicated as fact...

This article explains why technologists handling positron-emitting radionuclides may have higher measured radiation exposures than technologists working with single-photon emitting radionuclides. We will summarize measurements we have made, as well as those reported by other authors. In addition, we will describe the procedures implemented to minimize exposure.

Objective: The current study seeks to determine the occupational hazards affecting dental technologists working in government institutions Saudi Arabias capital city, Riyadh. researcher will assess practitioners awareness, perception, exposure to, and prevention measures applied limiting within selected facilities. Method: entails a cross-sectional designed quantitative investigation explore op...

OBJECTIVE The use of PET in Australia has grown rapidly. We conducted a prospective study of the radiation exposure of technologists working in PET and evaluated the occupational radiation dose after implementation of strategies to lower exposure. METHODS Radiation doses measured by thermoluminescent dosimeters over a 2-y period were reviewed both for technologists working in PET and for tech...

Scientists and Technologists involved in the development of radar and remote sensing systems all over the world are now trying to involve themselves in saving of manpower in the form of developing a new application of their ideas in Intelligent Transport system( ITS). The world statistics shows that by incorporating such wireless radar system in the car would decrease the world road accident by...

Introduction: Active personal dosimeters (APDs) are well accepted as useful and reliable instruments for individual dosimetry measurements. APDs have many advantages compared with passive dosimeters for individual external radiation dose assessments. In routine monitoring, occupational exposure is carried out for verification and demonstration of compliance with the regulatory dose limits. So, ...

Many technologists believe that advantageous innovations will sell themselves, that the obvious benefits of a new idea will be widely realized by potential adopters, and that the innovation will diffuse rapidly. Seldom is this the case. Most innovations, in fact, diffuse at a disappointingly slow rate, at least in the eyes of the inventors and technologists who create the innovations and promot...

Methods 20 CMR studies of acute coronary syndromes were included in this study. Analysis was conducted using Argus, Siemens semi-automated volume analysis software. 3 observers conducted the image analysis with two levels of training: Observer 1) “Reference” CMR level 3 physician; Observer 2) and 3) CMR technologists with no previous experience on CMR analysis. Both technologists underwent a 2h...

UNLABELLED Both stress and rest imaging are usually performed to diagnose ischemia or infarction in the left ventricle. If the stress study is performed first and the images indicate normal findings, it might be unnecessary to perform the rest study. The current study determines whether nuclear medicine technologists can assess the necessity of a rest study. METHODS The results of gated SPECT...
