A blog for prospective X-ray Tech students. Thursday, July 27, 2006. How It Works - CT Scanners. The next installment of my ongoing series called How It Works. Has to do with Computed Tomography.

Mountain Imaging II: How It Works - X-ray Machines
http://azx-raytechstudent2.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-it-works-x-ray-machines.html
A blog for prospective X-ray Tech students. Monday, July 24, 2006. How It Works - X-ray Machines. Almost everyone has heard of x-rays before. Some people have even had images made using x-rays, but most people don’t understand how x-rays work and how they are produced. This is the first of a series of posts called How It Works in which I will attempt to explain how various imaging modalities work. X-rays were first discovered by a German physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen (pronounced RANK-in ) in 1895.

Mountain Imaging: Me = Slacker
http://azx-raytechstudent.blogspot.com/2007/10/me-slacker.html
An X-ray Tech in Northern Arizona. Monday, October 08, 2007. That's the word to describe me. At least in regards to this blog. I cant believe its been so many months since my last post. Unforgivable!

Are you soon to take the registry? If you've been a slacker I've been a superslacker. So long as we return aye? RT Image - Onli...

Mountain Imaging: Morbid
http://azx-raytechstudent.blogspot.com/2007/10/morbid.html
An X-ray Tech in Northern Arizona. Thursday, October 18, 2007. Our latest review section is actually full of some really morbid stuff. For example did you know that it takes more than 5000 rads of radiation to fry your central nervous system, with death occurring in 0-3 days. If I got blasted with 5000 rads I would be hoping for closer to the 0 day mark than the 3 myself. Yikes! Anyway, the moral of the story, kids, is PROTECT YOURSELF. Glad to see you still have the blogger up and running! Ugh my name w...

An X-ray Tech in Northern Arizona. Saturday, May 24, 2008. Well, I imagine there aren't too many readers left for this blog and it's my own fault. But if anyone is still left out there, here's an update. I graduated in late December of 2007 and took the registry exam 2 days later. Unfortunately, the results took a couple of weeks to get to me, but when they finally did, I found out that I PASSED! So that's where I am now. I still love my work (most days! That's an excellent score! We have been reviewing ...

Mountain Imaging: Surgery
http://azx-raytechstudent.blogspot.com/2007/06/surgery.html
An X-ray Tech in Northern Arizona. Tuesday, June 05, 2007. I'm in surgery all this week. Not my favorite place to be. Although watching some of the surgeries like lap choles. I really prefer doing general x-ray exams or fluoro. As an X-ray Tech in surgery, you seem so removed and disconnected from the patient. For me, it also seems to be made up of long periods of boredom, broken up by short bouts of extreme nervousness and awkwardness on my part. I'm not that great with the C-arm. I'm new here buddy!
