RAD 2103 - Clinical Education III

Effective communication, which puts the patient in charge of care decisions, is vital to the operation of care services and facilities. Staff must be skilled in the critical basics of good communication in care settings. This film examines those basics, including what communication is, types of communication, active listening, cultural variation, interpersonal interaction and communication in groups. A range of care industry experts provide commentary. Interviewees: Dr. Sarah Collins (University of York), Claire Hedge (nursing home manager, Fremantle Trust), Jane Wilson MBE (Patient Information Forum) and Charlotte Green (primary school teacher). Students of health and care-related courses will find this a valuable learning resource, and it is also ideal for use in workplace training and professional development.

Over the past century, Nobel Prize–winning scientists and doctors have worked untiringly to develop and fine-tune highly effective medical imaging equipment—tools that play a vital role in diagnosis and treatment. Combining rarely seen archival footage, interviews with imaging specialists, and incredible medical images, this program highlights milestones in X-ray scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and nuclear imaging. Filmed on location throughout Europe and the United States.

This video looks at the history of x-radiation from the invention of Geissler tubes and the work of Wilhelm Röntgen to the recognition of the dangers of exposure. It discusses the technical aspects of the modern x-ray machine and the imaging process and introduces digital radiography. It presents an overview of safety protocols, contrast agents, and basic machine controls. The video also offers guidelines for x-ray image interpretation with basic radiographic opacities for various tissues and explains Roentgen signs.

This comprehensive overview assesses a number of noninvasive ways to look inside the human body. Segment one addresses the limitations of X-ray and fluoroscopic technologies and introduces computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound. Segment two describes how images are digitized and discusses the practical difficulties in achieving a clear image. Segment three demonstrates how computers can be used to enhance image definition. And segment four features two virtual reality programs that allow medical students to practice performing a craniotomy to remove a tumor and percutaneous rhizotomy to treat trigeminal neuralgia.

Medical imaging technologies—true marvels of medical science—give doctors the ability to analyze and interpret bodily anatomy and processes noninvasively. But how do ultrasound, hard and soft X-rays, CT scans, PET scans, and MRI scans create their remarkable images? This program thoroughly examines the physics of health-related imaging as it investigates the medical properties of electromagnetic and high-frequency sound waves.

This video focuses on establishing sound personal health practices, increasing awareness of body language, learning principles of stress management, time management, and setting priorities. It teaches how to make good objective observations, gather the client's subjective input, and report and record these observations.
