Question

what are the imaging exams where a low frequency generotor can be used sufficiently to produce similar image quality as compared to a high frequency?

Case Study: A 35 year old female patient weighing 375 pounds has an order for an upper GI series. She has a history of a possible perforated ulcer with GERD. An earlier ultrasound of the gallbladder revealed gallstones. 1. In your first post: o List three challenges are presented to the radiographer when imaging an obese patient, especially performing upper GI. radiography. • Describe whether the patient's possible diagnosis of perforated ulcer would change any aspects of the procedure. If so explain what will change and why that is necessary. Identify whether you have had any experiences when presented with the challenge of imaging an obese patient. Explain the specific challenges you face with regard to positioning and image quality.

Answer 1

What are imaging with low frequency;

& Digital radiography image dk-span magnetic resonance imaging de Magnetic resonance image ax-ray

LIST THREE CHALLENGE TO THE RADIOGRAPHER FOR THE OBESE PATIENT;

1. Photon penetration poor.
2. Difficulty in positioning of patient.
3. less coverage of anatomy of the obese patient.

o photon penetration is less a pool to The patient, It is mainly due to longer patient Thickness that leads to reduud photon penetration to The patient a Finally the radiographer gett reduced image contrast and scattering to the pertient increases. ♡ Incomplete coverage anatomy It is due to size of the patients Exceeds casette climensions so to overcome from This, radiographer use several projection over multiple cassetteel And also Turease the close to radiation. 9 Bilfimlty positioning # patient and cestering due to difficulty is positioning, anatomical landmarks obsurred Radiographer do estimate The Iliac crest height at Elbow level, bend hip for Interior margin of case the placement,

Explain specific challenge you faced in imaging of obese patient;

Yes, I had experienced with The challenge of imaging ở obese patient Exceeded table weight limits, It is due pccttent too heavy o equipment weight limit insufficient, so radiographer do reschede Whire appropriate Equipment is available. There Trovinence delays and Transportation issues developed. » Experiened with poor visualization of structured so Radiographer gek correct visualization by digital manipulation and improving contrast - Difficulty is positioning of patient, most common problem experienced by The Radio. -graphar so The anatomical land mouks. are obsured.
