Probably the most common form of support provided by NHB's Radiology Department is with an x-ray, a type of photographic process done with electromagnetic radiation.
How crucial is this support?
“Very important. We are the first line of defense for physicians, nurses, patients, and health care providers. The images that we produce can be the difference between identifying a correct pathology or a misdiagnosis. We must demonstrate patience, knowledge of our jobs and a high degree of attention-to-detail,” explained Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Gregory Deshields.
An x-ray machine sends individual x-ray particles through the body and the images are recorded on a computer or film.
Diagnostic radiography uses x-rays passing through the body to create a 2-D image that allows the radiologist and health care provider to see a general image of the anatomy in order to determine if there are any clues about a medical condition that may or may not exist.
