Mammography Positing

 Mammography Positing


Tie up the head to avoid presents in the exposure field take off clothes to expose the site for radiology press the ear against the panel lift up the breast raise the height of the panel to reach the lower Ruger of the breast simulate pressurizing onto the breast attaches the lower rouga of breast flat on the panel lift up external tissues into exposure field press on the shoulder to relax her start pressurizing the technician shall slowly draw out the hand forward while pressing leaving the breast at the state of stretched always lift the other breast towards inner angle the hand on the unaffected side shall grasp the handle spread the lower rouga of the external breast continue to pressurize until it is complete please note that the shoulder can't be present in exposure field start exposure state the machine head put her hand on the handle lift up the breast and put it on the panel making the external edge of the pectoralis major muscle visible lift up her armpit and put it on the upper corner to make it parallel to the panel lift the breast up word and inward press it on the panel and start pressurizing when the pressure panel is beyond the opposite breast we need to push our body forward leave a rotary angle to make her breast into the exposure field completely keep the breast supported until pressurizing is completely finished pulling the wall tissues of the breast downwards to spread the lower ruger breast start exposure.




Standard firstly position the bilateral breasts are in the shape of a rhombus pectoralis major muscle extends to the backline of papilla ie a vertical line from the papilla to pectoralis major muscle the fat of the land shall be clear the gland tissue shall be stretched properly separated the line of the skin shall be smooth and complete a pillar shall be on the tangent line a mellow separation on the left side is not as good as that on the right side there is a feeling of dropping which is not convenient for disease diagnosis at diagnosis area here is an overlap of glands


CC radiology standard

The bilateral breasts shall be symmetric in the shape of the sphere the length of the backline of the papilla shall not be less than 80% of that of mlo the internal and the external glans shall be shown on the film simultaneously for sure the internal glans can't be missed because the internal glands are the part most likely to be missed on mlo bilateral glans shall be separated properly and the fat behind the gland shall be clear papilla shall be on the tangent line of the skin shall be smooth and clear without.

Ruger on the whole breast for example in

CC radiology on the left side there is

Ruger on the external part which is not

standard when we need to have a clearer look at the interesting area we can add amplifying support and digital pressure panel to have more precise radiology of the interesting area, the posture is the same as CC and mlo put the interesting area on the center of digital pressure area and pressurize to confirm that the center of the interesting area is on the center of the digital panel start exposure this is the special pressure panel for TD puncturing location when the puncture is required we need to put rest on the panel lift up the panel to reach the lower Ruger of breasts pressurize and confirm there is no Ruger


let's find out x-coordinate and y-coordinate according to the first film of the patient this locating point is the target spot for puncture is the ordinary pressure panels supporting amplifying support size of the pressure panel is 18 times 24 centimeters it is applicable to radiology of limited region and macromastia this is the high side pressure panel with a size of 24 times 30 centimeters it can avoid overflow of plumpish breast wall tissues from the top of the breast is the special pressure panel for radiology of armpits and armpit tale.


Good communication between the technician and the patient is required for mammography

The patient's cooperation will help a good x-ray film in addition breast technician is different from ordinary photographer long hair is not allowed for breast technicians in cold winters you have to raise the temperature of your hands we also need to notice the length of our fingernails, in addition, you are not allowed to wear wrist band bracelet or ring which will cause discomfort to patients mammography is a difficult point for us we need to better learn dissection of breasts and movement of moveable tissues and immobile tissues and to reduce the dead zone of mammography as much as possible so that we can take a more complete film we need to notice patients expression all the time during pressurizing and shall strive to include all the breast tissues so that we can make a complete film as the good basis for diagnosis.

Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)

Image
 The hysterosalpingogram or HSG is a simple x-ray procedure performed using fluoroscopy with intermittent still images for documentation in general the actual procedure takes three to five minutes the hsg is a relatively low-risk procedure but does result in ovarian radiation exposure greater than a pelvic CT scan thus repetitive 8 sets hsg procedures should be avoided and the radiation exposure time  Demonstrates performance of an HSG notice the slow filling of the uterine cavity with radio-opaque dye while the uterus is positioned perpendicular to the x-ray beam subsequent fill of the fallopian tubes are visualized with a free spill into the peritoneal cavity unfortunately many women have preconceptions that the HSG is a very painful test there is no question that the discomfort is influenced by the experience of the operator an HSG is performed with the installation of a radio-opaque contrast into the uterine cavity installation devices include instruments that fit into the cervix s

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography ( PTC )

Image
 Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography ( PTC ) PTC is an x-ray procedure that involves direct-inject of contrast medium in the bile duct. These are the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine In this procedure, a thin needle is directly inserted through the skin into the liver to reach the bile duct. Indications Contraindication Equipment Patient Preparation Procedure Aftercare Complication                 Indications ERCP procedure is failed  Strictures in the bile duct Suspected bile duct obstruction Billary system delineation in the presence of intra and extrahepatic biliary calculi Cause of Jaundice Suspected tumor Anatomic evaluation of complications of ERCP                     Contraindications Suspected pregnancy Allergic to contrast medium Bleeding tendency Gross Ascites - Fluid in the abdominal cavity Sever infection at the puncture site Chronic liver disease Billary tract sepsis            Equipment Fluoroscopic unit with spot film ligh

Ultrasound for Aorta

Image
 Ultrasound of the aorta The anatomy of the abdominal aorta runs from the aortic hiritis to the bifurcation it has three major anterior branches the celiac axis at t12 the sma at l1 the ima at l2 it has multiple paired branches of which the most significant is the renal arteries at t2 the gonadal arteries and there are four paired lumber arteries this these are the gonadal arteries the celiac artery and the sma arise from the anterior aspect of the proximal aorta, this is the select axis and this is the sma in one to three percent of patients the celiac artery and the sma arise from a common trunk this is the common trunk coming off here and giving off the celiac.  Aorta technique The abdominal aorta technique measures the aorta and common iliac arteries from the outer diameter in the ap and transverse planes. Doppler tips Doppler tips aliasing is a marker of stenosis the doppler spectrum should be obtained from the site of aliasing or turbulent flow in this case from the origin of the
