I would like to see actual numbers with and without shielding to see the actual dosage to the gonads. Not your pictures. I am registered with the ARRT, not How Radiology Works, the AAPM, or the NRCP. The ARRT says students and R.T.s have the ethical responsibility to act in the best interests of each patient. Students are still being taught to shield and it is on the registry. Technologists can not be doing one thing and students being taught another. It only takes one ray to hit a cell just right to cause damage. I will never not shield or allow myself to not be shielded on an exam where shielding does not obscure the part being examined. The actual report that came out by the NRCP was never about not shielding. It was about shielding abdomens and pelvis’s using AEC. Somehow the report has been twisted and hospitals and medical facilities are doing away with shielding. Radiologic Technologist’s who agree with the no shielding stance should not wear appropriate shielding for themselves. 😤

Thanks for your comment and your passion on the matter. I agree that ARRT has not yet adopted the recommendation of the AAPM and that the transition away from gonad shielding will take time as there is a perception that it is helping more than reality. As we mentioned there are downsides of gonad shielding which are completely different from personal shielding for technologist so please do not compare them. I agree we want what is best for the patient here and given all of the evidence the AAPM consensus statement is that gonad shielding should be discontinued and in time this will be propagated to ARRT but will take some time. Thanks again for your comment and consideration.

What IS sampling frequency? I know we calculate it based on the Pitch / DELs etc, but what is its significance/what does it represent? I must be missing something significant because I've looked everywhere and I can't figure out if it's anything other than pointless extra measurement somebody came up with; it feels like I'm being told "The Abracadabra Value of the FPD is equal to twice the pixel pitch". Okay, the abracadabra value is 1mm; why does it matter, what new information does this give us we didn't have before, and why do I care? Why did I make up the abracadabra value in the first place? I have the same questions for Sampling Frequency. It's 2mm^-1, why does that matter? What do I know now that I didn't know before? I know we say it's another way to determine DEL size, but so is the abracadabra value, so is the Sampling Frequency and the Abracadabra value equally useful? Can someone please unlock this for my brain to understand before I end up in a mental institution.

howradiologyworks.com/digital-x-ray-sampling/ check out our post with the sampling frequency. We like units of frequency as traditionally we measure resolution in frequency such as the MTF. You can think of sampling frequency of the detector as the best that you could do on the resolution of the system and there are geometric effects and the focal spot blurring

Don’t be highly worried about CT dose actually doctors and medical workers try to use lowest dose for patients and the risk of cancer caused by CT scan is just theory with the low ratio about 0.002-0.04% Otherwise, DPL parameter is not the total amount patient absorbed , it’s the dose of CT scanner.

I am in need of some clarification. For pulsed fluoroscopy, I understand that a grid-controlled xray tube is utilized. However, I am having trouble narrowing down the specifics of this "grid". One textbook says it's the charged focusing cup, another source mentions an extra hardware component (charged wire mesh), placed between the cathode and anode. Is it one or the other, or both? Thanks

Thank you for the helpful videos on your channel from a first year student. I have a question about the depiction of photoelectric absorption please: I see that you have an x-ray emitted as the characteristic radiation from the atom along with the photoelectron. I've learned in one of my modules that effectively all of the elements that make up the body have such relatively low Z numbers (and therefore lower binding energies and electron energy states) that the characteristic radiation they emit during this process would be much lower frequency - in the infrared. How common would it be for a naturally occuring element in the human body to emit x-rays as characteristic radiation?
