Open Question: Give feedback please negative and positive im not done?
Lung cancer By Jorge G. Lung cancer is a disease which affects the respiratory system. If you have lung cancer your tissues in your lung are growing uncontrollably. If left untreated it can spread into other parts of the body. Worldwide no other cancer kills as much men and women as lung cancer. The main contributor to lung cancer is smoking especially from cigarettes. Smoke from cigarettes contains more than 60 known Carcinogen. Carcinogens are any substances directly involved in cancer. In the year 2000 91% of lung cancer deaths in men were attributed to tobacco. But most scientist agree that lung cancer does not have a single Couse, but instead a result of many factors. One of these factors was agent orange, agent orange was a weapon used in the Vietnam war its goal was to kill the forest so the enemy wouldn’t have cover. Sadly agent orange not only affects the environment but humans as well. Many Vietnam veterans If a person reports symptoms of lung cancer the first step is to do a chest radiograph. A chest radiograph is basically a x-ray of the chest. This may reveal a tumor. moreResolved Question: Tooth abscess while taking antibiotics?
I cracked a tooth a while back and let it go but ended up in excruciating pain last week. Enough that I wanted to just commit suicide. I don't have a lot of money and finally got an appointment at U of M's dental school. I got x-rays and a check up and they said I had an infection from looking at my radiographs. I didn't have an abscess. I've been taking penicillin and prescribed pain meds and feel REMARKABLY better, however, have noticed that I have a sore on my gum next to the tooth. I can't really see it but I can feel it. It doesn't really hurt but it tastes kind of bloody/metallic. Am I developing an abscess or what is it? I have an appointment to get the tooth extracted because I don't have time/money for a root canal. But the school is full up (obviously, it's affordable dental care) so I have to wait almost another month to get it done. I can get RX refills if need be, but should I go back to have them look again? I'm trying not to freak out but everyone keeps saying how awful of an infection you can get from an abscess. It's #18, last molar on left side of my mouth if that matters. Any advice would be great! moreResolved Question: If I had x-ray done on my shoulder and the report is saying?
Findings: Comparison is made with radiographs of the shoulder obtained on 7-11-11. There is no evidence of acute fracture or subluxation. Mild elevation of the clavicle relative to the acromion, suggesting AC joint sprain, is again noted and is not significantly changed, likely representing old injury. The glenohumeral joint is maintained. Impression: Stable findings suggesting old AC joint separation. Can someone explain to me in medical terms what they suggest I should do, should I have an MRI or does it sound like I need surgery. I done physical therapy for six weeks in July so I don't think I needed again. moreResolved Question: Prepare a 500 word or more "script" for a health care professional to use when explaining to the patient his c?

Discharge Diagnosis: Left Knee meniscectomy. Procedures: Laparoscopic Surgery to the Left Knee. CONSULTATION Date of Consultation: 7/8/20XX This is a 47-year-old male who was in his usual state of health until today. He entered the Emergency Room with severe pain to his left knee and equal amount of edema within the patellar area. This occurred after the patient fell at an angle on the left knee during a game of football with friends. The patient was evaluated with L-Knee Radiograph and Magnetic Radiograph Imaging (MRI) for soft-tissue films. The L-Knee X-Ray revealed no fractures to the Femur, Patella, Tibia, or Fibula. The MRI revealed a large tear surrounding the meniscus of the left knee. The patient was treated with a left knee splint and crutches with a prescription for Mobic 15mg daily and Tramadol/APAP 37.5 mg every 4-6 hours for pain. The patient was referred to Orthopedics for surgical repair. He has no past history of tobacco abuse, previous fractures, or surgeries. 2.Past Medical History: Allergies: No known drug allergies. Medications: None. Surgeries: None Medical History: History of Chronic Otitis Externa Family History: Noncontributory. Review of Systems: No medical abnormalities. Physical Examination: Vital Signs: BP 130/80, P 92, T 98.5 General: This is a well-developed and well-nourished anxious black male in mild distress. Head and neck are normocephalic and the oropharynx is clear. The left knee shows 5+ edema and patient is unable to bend at knee joint connection. The patient’s left leg is not weight bearing and the pain level continues to be a 6 to 7 on the pain scale. The patient is using crutches and wheelchair for mobility. All other musculoskeletal joints are with free range of motion. Neurologic with no focal deficits. moreVoting Question: How do u differentiate between an AP and a PA view of a chest radiograph ?
Is there any specific difference in the two views except the direction of the x- rays ? moreResolved Question: What is the normal color of x-ray radiograph?
When x-rays are allowed to pass through the body these are absorbed to a variable extent depending upon the tissue densities. The visibility of normal and diseased structures depends upon this differential absorption. like if x-rays that pass through the air (lungs) are least absorbed and cause most blackening of the radiograph whereas calcium absorbs the most and so bones and other calcified structures appear virtually white on radiograph. The soft tissues with exception of fat, e.g. solid viscera's muscles, blood, a variety of fluids, bowel wall, etc all have similar absorption capacity and appear same shade of grey on conventional radiographs Fat absorbs slightly fewer x-rays and therefore appear little blacker than other soft tissues. so the thing that is confusing me is what is the color of x-ray film before they put in to the x-ray machine???? moreResolved Question: foot stress fracture?
While running a 5K towards the end of the race my foot became very painful, mostly on the top towards the 4th metatarsal where it meets the foot bone, but radiating through the foot. (previously been running with zero issues and normally run 3 miles 4x a week) Xray revealed nothing, I was unable to bear weight on the front of the foot for 5 days, was on crutches, and immobile pretty much staying in bed the whole time. An xray 10 days past the injury revealed nothing * according to the army doctor* Since the injury it has been 4weeks and a few days. I still have some pain localized in the same spot. I attempted to run last week and didn't even make it 1/4 way around the track and had to give up because the pain was returning. I made the mistake of kicking a soccerball this weekend with the inside of my foot and the pain was so bad that I was limping for the rest of the day. I'm just wondering, is it possible that there is a stress fracture that won't show up on plain x-rays and if it is, with restricting myself to just walking how long can I expect before I'll be able to run again? What if anything can be done if I insist on another radiograph or CT? moreVoting Question: I need some help with some dental questions for the RHS exam?

Examination :Multiplanar, multi-echo MRI of the Dorsal Spine Was perfomed using T1, T2 W sequences. Observation : The vertebral levels are as marked on the film. Please correlate with plain radiographs. There is mild kyphotic deformity of the dorsal spine from D6 to D8 levels with mild scoliosis, convexity to right. There is destuction, altered signal changes, anterior, central wedging of D7 vertebra with retropulsion of postero-inferior D7 vertebral body into the spinal canal. compressing the thecal sac, dorsal spinal cord, causing spinal canal narrowing. Partial destruction, erosions, altered signal changes are also seen involving D6, D8 vertebral bodies, posterior elements of D6 to D8 vertebrae, which appear hypoinense on T1 W images and hyperintense on the T2 W and STIR images. Ther is involvement of D6-D7, D7-D8 discs by the pathology, which appears partially destroyed. Similar intensity signal changes, partial erosion are seen in D2, D3 vertebral bodies, D2-D3 anterior disc. The D5-D6 disc appears partially involved by the pathology. These represent changes of spondylodiscitis. There is mild retropulsion of the D6 vertebral body into the spinal canal, indenting the thecal sac. Prevertebral, bilateral paravetebral soft tissue is seen from D2 to D11 levels (more at D6 to D8 levels), which appear hypointense on T1 W images and hyperintense on the T2 W and STIR images, represent granulation tissue / abscess. Epidural soft tissue is seen at D6-D7, D7-D8 levels, Which is adding to spinal cord compression / narrowing; involve neural foramina, respective exiting, traversing nerve roots (AP dimension of spinal canal at D7-D8 level approximately 8 mm). Minimal bilateral effusion is noticed. Rests of the visualized dorsal vertebral bodies and remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The remaining visualized dorsal spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity. The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level. Impression : * Destruction, altered signsl changes, anterior, central wedging of D7 vertebra with retropulsion of postero- inferior D7 vertebral body into the spinal canal, compressing the thecal sac, dorsal spinal cord, causing spinal canal narrowing. Partial destrucation, erosions, altered signsl changes involving D6-D7, D7- D8 discs with similar intensity signal changes, partial erosion in D2, D3 vertebral bodies, D2-D3 anterior disc and partially involved D5-D6 disc by pathology.

My cat has some blood in her urine. I took her to an animal clinic, and got an estimate for hospital diagnosis to be nearly $2,000. Looking at the estimate, they included vaccinations which I never asked for. They also include hospital overnight costs @ $125/night - as well as costs that go with that (IV fluid therapy, pain killers). For the radiograph, I see $120 for radiograph consult, $195 for four views/photos, $125 for bladder contrast radiograph, and $88 for minor sedation/anesthesia. Is this overpriced? Do cat x-rays require overnight stay at hospital? moreResolved Question: medical questions concerning scoliosis?
My friends daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis a few years ago and for so far has had no change in her condition until now. To begin with she has some odd shaped bones and lots of calcium deposits, especially in her neck. To describe it like her dr described it a few years ago, your neck (or the bone) is supposed to be shaped like a banana, only backwards, and, of course, not with that big of a curve, but you should get the idea. Well, hers is shaped the exact opposite. So yeah, she has lots of problems with her neck too. Now, this last time at the dr.s office they did x rays and sent the results to her mother who has to now take her to a specialist. What I'm typing next are the findings. If anyone can help decipher this in, I guess what they call layman terms it would be much appreciated. IMPRESSION: S-Shaped scoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine has worsened slightly since the prior study. Comparison: Prior study 5/16/2009 Indication: Scoliosis Findings: AP radiographs of the thoracolumbar spine obtained. There is 15 degrees of levoscoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine centered at T12-L1. There is 8 degrees of dextroscoliosis of the thoracic spine centered at T7-8. Also, in the same doctors visit, Whitney has been complaining of knee pain. They x rayed her knee and this is what we received. IMPRESSION: 1. There is a linear calcification projecting over the soft tissues medial to the femoral metaphysis measuring 1.7 cm in length and 0.3 cm in width. This may be post traumatic in nature. 2. No osseous or articular abnormality. Indication> Generalized knee pain Findings: AP, lateral, and oblique views obtained. There is no evidence of fracturee of knee joint effusion. Joint spaces are preserved. As I said, if anyone can tell me what these findings mean in general, easy to understand language, it would be greatly appreciated. moreVoting Question: What do these MRI results mean???
I went to the doctor's office last week because of pain in my neck. She did an x-ray and didn't like what she saw so she sent me to get an MRI. When I went back to find out what was what, she said that I need another MRI with contrast this time. I asked for a copy of the report because she wasn't telling me anything besides 'get another test'. I should've just went with it because I have been reaearching some of the terms that I saw in the report and I am VERY scared right now. At any rate, can anyone help me decipher the report from my MRI. I am scared an don't know what else to do so here goes..... Findings: There is a straightened and slightly reversed cervical lordosis and there is a mild dextroscoliosis of the cervical spine. There is evidence of of multilevel degenerative disc disease throughout the entire cervical spine from C2 through T2. There is mild disc bulging and spondylosis throughout the cervical region from C2 through T1 After the T2-3 level on the left side, there is a mass of abnormal signal within the spinal canal extending from the nerve root and commencing the thecal sac to a mild degree. This lies within the spinal canal and on the T2 weight sagittal images, has the appearance of a mass lesion that measures 1 cm in superior inferior extent by approximately 7 mm in width. This is seen on the T2 weighted sagittal images and also on the axial images. The lesion is of a mixed siganl intensity having some hyperintense foci and some peripheral siganl void. The lesion is intimately related to to the left nueral foramen into which it extends. This change is not completely assessed. I cannot tell whether this is a mass lesion, a disc extrusion or spondylotic change. However, there is no significant spondylotic change anywhere else in the cervical spine. Therefore I think that this is less likely. In this regard, further assessment with correlation with plain radiographs and consideration with postcontrast scan is suggested. This should help define the lesion better and assess for any abnormal enhancement. The spinal cord is otherwise unremarkable. The craniocervical relations are unremarkable. Bone marrow signal intensity is unremarkable and the surrounding soft tissue structures are unremarkable as visualized. Conclusion: 1. There is possible mass lesion on the left sideed T2-3. This extends through the left neural foramen probably obstructing the left neural foramen and also compresses the thecal sac. This may be a mass lesion, possibly a peripheral nerve sheath tumor. In this regard, correlation with plain radiographs and consideration with pre and postcontrast MRI with specific attention to this area as this is below the cervical region is suggested. 2. There is a straightened lordosis, mildmultilevel degenerative disc disease and mild disc bulging and spondylosis from C2 through C7-T1. There is no evidence for focal protrusion, canal or forminal stenosis involving the cervical spine. Whew!!! What the heck does all of that mean. Someone PLEASE tell me that I am worried about something small!!!Douglas B - while I appreciate the helpful tips on what to do for pain, I really need some type of understanding as to what the actual words mean.

My mother had to switch dentists because a dentist that she randomly had to go to for an emergency situation doesn't take her insurance. So, when she went for the emergency, we paid almost $300 up front for 3d panoramic x-rays that they took and an antibiotic that they gave her. Later we found out that they were in fact an "out of network" dentist for her insurance. My mother found another dentist, who said they need the x-rays from the former dentist. My mother called the former dentist to try to get a copy, and they told her it would be at least a few days just to get a simple copy - a procedure they've said doesn't take long for a dental assistant to do. We turned in the paperwork on Wednesday the 19th. They said it takes 2-5 days just to get a freaking COPY of the x-rays, and then wanted to charge $45 just for the copy. Why do dentists do this? They don't need the originals and they have been made fully aware that my mother won't be coming back there because they do not take her insurance and our former bill has been paid already. They don't need the original panoramic radiograph x-rays anymore - why do they insist on making a 'copy'?Plus, my mother's other dentist appointment is on Monday, and they don't want to do anything without the x-rays to look at first. We had to fill out paperwork printed from their website, take it to them, pay $45 up front and then wait several days. I don't understand why if it belongs to her and it's her x-rays that they won't need anymore, why they can't just hand her the freaking original x-rays and be done with it? We paid $300 for those...what's the problem? moreResolved Question: Can someone help me with my x-ray report? It will be some time before I can see a doctor!?
I had my lower spine x-rayed a week ago and I just got the report back. Now, it will be some time before my appointment with my doctor and I'm really worried. Can someone with medical expertise tell me what might be going on? I'm a 21 year old female. The x-ray report says: -diffuse bone rarefaction -pedicles and lumbar vertebral bodies 'thorny' -convex scoliotic attitude, left lumbar -lumbar flattening sacrum from L4-5 -disc space narrowing, L4-5. but no obvious listhesis -absence of bone lesions seen on radiograph. Thanks in advance!Yes, I do have pain in the lower back and around my left hip. I've never had an injury, though, and I find it a bit odd that you'd say I am aging when I'm only 21 years old. Is that normal?Yes, I do have pain in my lower back and in my left hip. How can I be aging if I am 21 years old?

ok so i went to the doctors and got an x-ray and this is what the doctor said. Findings: Three views of the left foot were obtained. There are three fragments of the tibial sesamoid bone underlying the fifth metatarsal head, which may represent a tripartite sesamoid or sequela of prior trauma. No acute fracture or dislocation is identified. There is a small distal Achilles enthesophyte. Impression: TRIPARTITE TIBIAL SESAMOID VERSUS FRAGMENTATION FROM PRIOR FRACTURE OF THE SESAMOID.

I've been trying to find some information on post-grad studies/schooling for Radiology Assistants (RA). I'm currently enrolled in a Radiography Technologist (RT) program and I'm deciding whether or not to further my studies. Just in case some of you guys thought they were the same thing, RAs can basically help the licensed radiologist diagnosis and analyze radiographs while RTs can only take the x-ray images. I know it's a new occupation that's starting to become recognized (in the States), but what about Canada? If so, can you also provide some schools that offer the program? Also, what's the annual salary rate in Canada? In the States it's between $90-100K. All the help appreciated. Thanks in advance! moreResolved Question: Who read the x-rays.

I have had three panoramic x-rays at the dentist's office recently, three because several centimeters of my left lower jaw bone are not showing up on the films, not even as an outline. There is some bone density loss on my right lower jaw, but this appears to be minor. On the left, however, the films show the jaw hinge and the part of the jawbone that begins under my one remaining (impacted) wisdom tooth, but absolutely nothing in between. The films show the space as blank. It's not a fault of the machine, as my children's radiographs turn out fine. What could be the possible causes for the bone's not appearing on the x-rays? I have some jaw pain and loud popping on the left side that I have always attributed to TMJ, and I get piercing headaches on the same side of my face and head, but I don't know if these are related to what is happening with my x-rays. The situation worries me, not least because when my mother was 35, just a few years older than I am now, she had part of her jawbone replaced because of degeneration: the bone turned spongy and disintegrated. Are there hereditary conditions that might cause bone loss that is not osteoporosis? moreResolved Question: Does the CT Scan need a darkroom and cassette to produce radiographs?

My 16 year old cat seems to have agitated her back right "knee." We took her to the vet yesterday for preliminary blood work to make sure she was in good health for sedation. When they called this morning to say that was OK and we could proceed, we were a little surprise to be told the x-rays would cost $900. Has anyone had this procedure done, and do you think we should try to get a better price from another vet?As the vet explained it to me, the nature of ortho x-rays is that the cat needs to have their leg being x-rayed bent and stretched in somewhat unnatural ways, which requires the sedation so that the cat is comfortable and cooperative. The vet described at least three "positions" our cat would be x-rayed in, so I assume there will be multiple plates. I will ask for a break down of costs to see what is making the total so high though. Thanks for the help so far!! moreResolved Question: After falling off a pile of rocks while playing near his home, ?

My puppy is 4 months old. His a maltese. After 5 days welcoming him to my home, i got freaked out. He was coughing as he got choked on something. I took him to vet. They told me that he had kennel cough. After 3 courses of antibiotics, he does not get any better. Up to today, he's still coughing. He only coughs when he wakes up and exercising. I had him radiographed and blood tested couple days ago. X ray was clean, he has no trachae problem (as toy dogs do). With his blood test though, the vet suggests me to take my puppy to a specialist. They said my puppy has white blood infection. Has other puppies had some problem as my puppy? Is my puppy going to be ok? He is still eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing normally. He was 2.3 lbs at 2 months old, now he is 4.6 lbs. I hope the specialist will give me answer and solution. moreResolved Question: An Radiology report: Help finding the 10 medical terminology errors.?

1. Medical x-ray imaging relies on the change in intensity of a beam due to absorption in the matter, whether the common x-ray radiograph or CT/CAT scanning. 2. x-rays result from the decay of an excited nucleus (one which has a higher energy than the usual energy) without changing the mass or atomic number of the nucleus. 3. photographs taken on film using x-rays are able to show the actual positions of molecules and atoms. 4. Using CT (or CAT), x-rays are brought together to form a real visible 3-D image of the region being scanned, rather like a hologram. 5. x-rays can have any energy from 10 eV to 1 million eV. moreResolved Question: when your taking an image from an x ray, what is causing the radiograph to be black?
