Diagnostic
imaging is full of interesting little facts that we don’t often stop to
think about. Let’s look at some interesting history:
- Radiology began as a sub specialty in the first part of the 1900’s.
- Radiographs were made onto glass plates.
- Film was introduced in 1918 but would not be used for years to come.
- Society of radiographers was formed in 1920.
- The image intensifier and X-Ray television came in the 1950’s.
- Real time ultrasound came in the late 1970’s.
During the early days of radiology the patient had to hold a
film cassette. What’s incredible is that during the early days an X-Ray could take close
to twenty minutes, where now it takes almost no time at all. While radiology
was thriving as time progressed there were several different developments that
were somewhat adverse such as:
- Exposure to radiation.
- Limited processing.
- Contrast agents were not as advanced and while they helped, they had a long way to go.
It’s incredible to think that contrast agents or “dye” has
been around for well over 100 years. Contrast agents were injected in order to
create a better and more effective view of the body. Prior to the use of the
image intensifier the system in place was a complex type of mirror maze that
was extremely difficult to handle. Today we rely on digital technology but the
truth of the matter is that they have been around for almost four decades. Some
of the benefits of digital technology include:
- Less x-ray dose can often be used to achieve the same high quality picture as with film.
- Digital x-ray images can be enhanced and manipulated with computers giving physicians the ability to get a closer look at the images.
- Digital images can be sent via network to other workstations and computer monitors so that many people can share the information and assist in the diagnosis creating a more effective and patient centric workflow.
- Digital images can be retrieved from an archive at any point in the future for reference, making it easy for physicians to be able to compare cases and develop some form of effective treatment.
