- X-ray machinesLearn about different x-ray machines and what they are used for. Vocabulary includes: orthopantogram, lead-lined apron, radiography, Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy, cancer, tumor, and luggage scanner.
- Medical Imaging: Technical Aspects, Operation and Interpretation - Radiology, Part 1 — Projectional RadiographyThis 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.
- Medical Imaging: X-Rays, CT, MRI, Ultrasound, and Virtual RealityThis 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.
- The Physics of Medical ImagingMedical 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.
- The History of Medical ImagingOver 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.
