How does radiation safety apply in radiology?
✔✔Radiation safety involves using the lowest possible dose of radiation, appropriate shielding,
and following safety protocols to minimize exposure to patients and healthcare workers.
What is the role of contrast agents in radiology imaging?
✔✔Contrast agents are used in radiology to enhance the visibility of specific areas, such as blood
vessels, organs, or tissues, improving the clarity of the images during procedures like CT scans
and MRIs.
What is the difference between diagnostic radiography and interventional radiography?
✔✔Diagnostic radiography focuses on obtaining images for diagnosis, while interventional
radiography involves using imaging to guide medical procedures, such as biopsies or catheter
placements.
Why is patient positioning important in radiology?
✔✔Proper patient positioning is essential to ensure accurate and high-quality images, as well as
to avoid unnecessary exposure to radiation and reduce the need for repeat imaging.
