3 Introduction Applications of Radiographic Systems Routine examinations Chest, Abdominal, Skull, Neck/Spine, Limbs Emergency Services ER, ICUs, Neonatal ICU, Hospital Wards Specialty Radiographic Examinations Dental, Mammography, Intraoperative
4 Routine Examinations Chest X-rayX Most common 50% of all X-raysX Evaluation of Lungs Heart Chest Wall Quite difficult to interpret
5 Routine Examinations Bone Radiography Second Most Common Evaluation of Broken bones Sports injuries Orthopedic pre- surgery issues
6 Routine Examinations Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder (KUB) Abdominal Exam Evaluation of kidney stones GI disorders DOES NOT show Ureters
7 Routine Examinations Upper GI Requires Barium Evaluation of Esophagus Stomach Duodenum First part of small intestine
8 Routine Examinations Lower GI Evaluation of Bowels Colon Barium & Air often used
9 Routine Examinations Intravenous Urography (IVU) Evaluation of Urinary System Requires Intravenous Contrast
10 Routine Examinations Arthrography Evaluation of Joints Uses Contrast Contrast agent Air
