Radiology equipment is some of the most expensive investments a practice, clinic, hospital or healthcare facility can make. It’s expensive to purchase and install—and then there’s the required preventative maintenance, on top of that. Of course, preventative maintenance is designed to prevent the need of costly breakdowns that can affect your revenue flow. Now, there’s also a call by the World Health Organization for additional policies and approaches for decontamination of radiology equipment, and the protection of radiology personnel.

In significant parts of the world, and America in particular, people’s pets are often considered part of the family. It’s common for pet owners to spend thousands of dollars on healthcare for their animals, including fees for CT Scans, MRIs, C-Arms, Ultrasounds and general X-Rays… money that they don’t spend on dream vacations, better vehicles, and other creature (no pun intended) comforts. It’s also common for wealthier individuals to spend exorbitant amounts on their pets’ care, just because they can.

NIBIB's 60 Seconds of Science explains what is happening in the body when it undergoes an MRI.
MRIs employ powerful magnets which produce a strong magnetic field that forces protons in the body to align with that field. When a radiofrequency current is then pulsed through the patient, the protons are stimulated, and spin out of equilibrium, straining against the pull of the magnetic field. When the radiofrequency field is turned off, the MRI sensors are able to detect the energy released as the protons realign with the magnetic field. The time it takes for the protons to realign with the magnetic field, as well as the amount of energy released, changes depending on the environment and the chemical nature of the molecules. Physicians are able to tell the difference between various types of tissues based on these magnetic properties.

We’ve all seen the Fashion Do’s and Don’ts on TV and in fashion magazines. Like “DON’T wear a black thong under white sheer pants when shopping at Wal-Mart,” or “DO wear an outrageous chapeau when attending a Kentucky Derby party.”
