This is where we lay patients to take xrays of them laying down. the round thing that has green numbers on it is movable to just about any part of the room. it also measures how far away it is from the person.
the machine on the right is where we flash the xray, which puts all the persons info on it.. then the big machine is what we use to run the xray Thur to develop the xray. The red thing you see is what holds the pic one we take the xray, what the machine does is once you run it Thur it clears it off on to the computer. then from their we can send the xray to the radiologist, if our radiologist is gone for the night we send it to a program called nighthawk,which is where radiologist from Australia can read them and tell us whats wrong. the one in the pic has just been ran Thur and can be used again. the big ones are usually used to chest xrays. the smaller ones are used for hands and fingers.
this is just some of the techs sitting around. this is what we do when we have nothing going on.
again here is another picture of the techs just sitting around. the printer in the back ground is where all the orders come in from various parts of the hospital, from surgery all the way down to ER. we get any where from 20-30 orders an hour. sometimes more depending on how busy the Emergency room(ER) is.
a few random pics from radiology tonight...
Hope you enjoy the pictures roni.
