ʻO wai kēia ʻenehana Radiological? E ʻike pono kākou i ka mea nāna e hana i kāu scan!

Ke kākau kāu kauka iā ʻoe i kahi X-ray, CT scan, a i ʻole MRI, hele ʻoe i kahi lumi kūikawā ma ka haukapila. Aia kekahi ma laila e kōkua iā ʻoe, e hoʻokele i kēlā mīkini nui. Manaʻo ka poʻe he kauka kēlā kanaka. Akā, ʻaʻole ʻo ia he kauka maoli. No laila, ʻo wai kēia kanaka? He aha kāna kuleana? I kēia lā, ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i kēia Radiologic Technologist, nāna e hana i kahi lawelawe leo ʻole i loko o kā mākou ʻōnaehana olakino, akā he kuleana koʻikoʻi loa kāna.

ʻO wai kēia ʻenehana Radiology?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he loea mālama ola kino kahi Radiologic Technologist (RT) i loaʻa i ke aʻo kūikawā e hana i nā hoʻokolohua kiʻi like ʻole a hoʻokele i ka radiation therapy. I kekahi manawa kapa mākou iā lākou ʻo 'Radiographers'.

ʻO ka mea nui loa, ʻaʻole lākou he mau kauka . ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻaʻohe o lākou kekelē lapaʻau (MD). No laila, ʻaʻole e ʻike kahi radiologist i kou kūlana a i ʻole e kuhikuhi iā ʻoe i nā lāʻau lapaʻau.

E noʻonoʻo i kēia ʻano. Hoʻokele ka pailota i kahi mokulele. Akā, hāʻawi ka mea hoʻokele mokulele i nā kuhikuhi mai ka lumi hoʻomalu e pae a hoʻokuʻu palekana i ka mokulele. He poʻe akamai lāua ʻelua i kā lāua mau kahua, akā he ʻelua ko lāua kuleana. Pēlā nō ia. ʻO ka radiologist kekahi mea nāna e hoʻokele i kēlā 'mokulele' i kapa ʻia he mīkini scan me ka pololei a me ka palekana a lawe i ke 'kiʻi' maikaʻi loa. ʻO kēlā kiʻi, ʻo ia hoʻi, kāu hōʻike scan, ʻo ia ka mea a ka radiologist e ʻōlelo ai e pili ana i ka maʻi. ʻO ia hoʻi, ke kauka.

No ke komo ʻana i kēia ʻoihana, pono ʻoe e loaʻa i kahi kekelē a i ʻole diploma ma ke kahua a loaʻa i ke aʻo kūikawā ma nā haukapila. No laila, ua ʻike nui lākou a ua aʻo ʻia i kā lākou hana.

He aha kā lākou e hana nei?

Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ke kuleana o kahi ʻenehana radiation i kekahi mau ʻāpana.

• Ke hoʻomākaukau ʻana iā ʻoe no ka hoʻokolohua: Ke hele ʻoe i ka lumi scan, e wehewehe lākou i ka hoʻokolohua iā ʻoe, hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi lole kūikawā e ʻaʻahu ai, a e noi iā ʻoe e wehe i nā mea hoʻonani metala a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea ʻē aʻe mai kou kino.
• Ke hoʻohana nei i nā lako: Hoʻohana pololei lākou i kēlā mau mīkini nui a paʻakikī, e kuhikuhi ana iā lākou i kahi kikoʻī ma kou kino e pono ai ke nānā ʻia.
• Ke kōkua ʻana i nā kauka: Ma kekahi mau lāʻau lapaʻau, e like me ka angioplasty, hana kēia mau mea ʻenehana i nā hoʻokolohua kiʻi i ka manawa like e kōkua i ke kauka ʻoki e ʻike maopopo i loko o nā veins.
• Ke hoʻokomo ʻana i nā kala kūikawā (contrast dye): I kekahi mau hoʻokolohua, e like me nā scan CT, pono e hoʻokomo ʻia kahi kala kūikawā i loko o kahi aa koko e ʻike maopopo ai i nā ʻōpū a me nā kīʻaha koko i loko o ke kino. Hana palekana ʻia kēia e kahi radiologist.

ʻO nā ʻano hoʻokolohua nui i hana ʻia e kahi loea radiation

Hana lākou i nā ʻano hoʻokolohua kiʻi like ʻole. E nānā kākou i nā mea koʻikoʻi loa.

ʻO ke kōkua āu e loaʻa ai mai iā lākou i ka wā o ka scan

E noʻonoʻo e kokoke ana ʻoe e komo i loko o kahi mīkini MRI, he mea weliweli iki ia, he walaʻau, a ua makaʻu iki ʻoe. I kēlā manawa, hoʻomālielie ke kauka radiology iā ʻoe, wehewehe i nā mea āpau, a hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ke koa.

I ka wā o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana a i ʻole ka mālama ʻana, nānā pono lākou i kēia mau mea:

• Ka pane ʻana i kāu mau nīnau: Inā he mau nīnau kāu e pili ana i ka hoʻokolohua, hiki iā ʻoe ke nīnau iā lākou me ka makaʻu ʻole.
• Ke nānā nei e hana pono ana nā lako: Hōʻoiaʻiʻo lākou e hana pololei ana nā lako āpau a palekana hoʻi ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka hoʻāʻo.
• Aia kou kino i ke kūlana kūpono: Kōkua lākou iā ʻoe e hoʻonoho pono iā ʻoe iho e kiʻi i ke kiʻi maikaʻi loa, a inā pono, hiki iā lākou ke hōʻoluʻolu iā ʻoe me nā mea e like me nā uluna.
• Ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo nei i kou palekana a me ka ʻoluʻolu: Ke nānā mau nei lākou i kou palekana a me ka ʻoluʻolu i ka wā o ka hoʻokolohua holoʻokoʻa.

Aia kekahi mau wahi a lākou i loea ai?

ʻAe. E like me nā kauka i loea i nā ʻano like ʻole, loaʻa pū kekahi mau loea radiology i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa kūikawā ma kekahi mau ʻano.

Ma ke ʻano hoʻāʻo

Loaʻa i kekahi poʻe ke aʻo kūikawā no kahi ʻano hoʻokolohua kikoʻī wale nō.

• Nā Mammograms
• Kiʻi puʻuwai
• Nā hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka nui o ka iwi (nā scan DXA)

Wahi a nā kūlana olakino

Loaʻa i kekahi poʻe ka ʻike loea i kekahi mau kūlana olakino.

• Oncology: Ke hāʻawi nei i ka lāʻau lapaʻau radiation i nā poʻe maʻi kanesa.
• Cardiology: Ke hana nei i nā hoʻokolohua e pili ana i ka puʻuwai.
• Pediatrics: He hana noʻeau ʻokoʻa ka mālama ʻana i nā keiki liʻiliʻi i ka nānā ʻana iā lākou. Pono ke aʻo kūikawā no kēia.
• Mālama i ka hāpai ʻana: Ke nānā ʻana i ka ultrasound o nā makuahine hāpai.

Ma hea lākou e hana ai?

Loaʻa pinepine iā mākou nā mea ʻenehana radiation ma nā haukapila , akā hana pū lākou ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe.

• Nā kikowaena lapaʻau pilikino
• Nā keʻena lapaʻau ʻaʻole ma ka haukapila
• Nā kikowaena mālama maʻi waho

I kekahi manawa, inā ʻaʻole hiki i kahi mea maʻi ke hele i ka lumi scan, no ka laʻana, kahi mea maʻi ma ka Emergency Treatment Unit (ETU) a i ʻole kahi mea maʻi ma kahi lumi hana, aia nā mīkini X-ray kelepona hiki ke lawe ʻia ma laila. I kēlā mau hihia, e hele mai ka radiologist iā ʻoe me nā lako.
