1.Asthma is a common disorder that primarily involves the airways. The artical talks about how asthma happens were is happens and how to help it from getting worse."The accuracy of statistics about asthma is limited by confounding factors in patients older than age 35 years, changes in the International Classification of Diseases, the lower confirmation rates at autopsy, and problems related to the interpretation of death certificates (Busse, 1995). "
2"Approximately 80-85% of childhood asthma episodes are associated with prior viral exposure. Prior childhood pneumonia due to infection by respiratory syncytial virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and/or Chlamydia species was found in more than 50% of a small sample of children aged 7-9 years who later had asthma (ALA Denver, 2000). Treatment with antibiotics appropriate for these organisms improves the clinical signs and symptoms of asthma."

1.This artical was about bone infarct refers to ischemic death of the cellular elements of the bone and marrow. Considerable lack of uniformity exists in the use of terminology for bone infarct. Also this artical talks about other bone infarct that happens in the body. Also blood cell play a big part in this.(paragraph 1-2)
2."Estimates of the rate of steroid-induced osteonecrosis range from 2-4% to more than 25%. AVN of the femoral head occurs in 60-75% of patients with femoral neck fractures, 25% of patients with hip dislocations, and 15-40% of patients with a slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Osteonecrosis is a complicating factor in 10-15% of patients with a scaphoid fracture. Osteonecrosis associated with SLE occurs in 5-6% of patients; some estimates are as high as 40%. Changes within the shoulder girdle are reported in 1-3% of patients undergoing radiation therapy for breast carcinoma."

Complex are one that have nurve damage.The frequency of elbow dislocations is second to that of dislocations of the shoulder. CT give a picture of the injured elbow.(Paragraph 1-8)
2."Hildebrand et al reports that the annual incidence of elbow dislocations is 6-8 cases per 100,000 population; these dislocations represent 11-28% of all injuries to the elbow. The frequency of elbow dislocations is second to that of dislocations of the shoulder. Posterior dislocations of the elbow are the predominant type and account for 80-90% of all elbow dislocations"

1. Be live it or not but men get cancer to! About 30% of males with breast cancer, family history is positive for the disease. Male cancer is a lot similer to women. But this iss really rare. Males with Klinefelter syndrome have a risk of breast cancer that is also very commen to women. But the wired thing it that from 1973-1998, and the reasons for this are unclear! the doctermake sure to have x-rays of the pationent to get rid of the cancer.(paregrph one-six)
2."The overwhelming histologic subtype of breast carcinoma in men is ductal or unclassified (93.7%), followed by papillary (2.6%). Infiltrating lobular carcinoma is rare in males, likely due to the rarity of terminal lobules in the male breast. Ductal carcinoma in situ is also less common among male patients with breast cancer, most likely because a higher prevalence of screening detects ductal carcinoma in situ in women. All other types of breast cancer, including medullary, colloid, cystosarcoma phyllodes, and Paget disease, are reported in males. Estrogen receptors are present more commonly in males with breast cancer than in women, occurring in 75-94% of males with cancer."

People that have ankle injure cant take the pain so they need x-rays to see how to fix it. (paragraph one)
2."The shapes of the ankle bones and the supporting ligamentous structures are important anatomic features of the ankle area. The distal tibia has a large, flat articular surface (the plafond), a prominent medial malleolus, and a less prominent posterior malleolus. The talar dome is wedge-shaped, wider anteriorly than posteriorly."

Or some people love the challenges that come with it. But they all really make the dicision when they come in contact with the filed.
2. "Data from the 2004 National Physician Survey were used to determine when current
Canadian radiologists made their decision to pursue a radiology career and to
determine which factors were most influential in their decision. Most respondents
reported having made this decision during their clerkship years of medical school
(32.7%) or after a period of time in practice (25.4%). The most influential factors
involved in this decision were perceived intellectual stimulation and workload flexibility
or predictability. These results provide insight into the trainee’s decision to pursue
radiology and may be useful to those recruiting for radiology as well to medical students

1.When people get interested in radiology alot of them just look at how much money they will make in a year. But the truth is that there is a lot of years of school you need to go to.Also you need to have a caring personality towards people especially the sick people that need your help to get better. Also you will need to be able top work well with others because the Doctor will be your boss and the nurses will be your co-worker and their could be alot of stress on them some times.
2."He should spend more of his time caring for his patient, listening carefully to the history, doing a good physical exam, and spending extra time talking with the patient. He should be able to call the radiology department and consult with a doctor who knows what all the tests do and what test is needed for this and that symptom or finding. And that's just what radiologists do or should do. "

1.This article is about the different kinds of radiology careers there is. Radiographers produce images of the organs, bones, and vessels of the body. Sonographers use high frequency sound waves to create images of anatomy.Nuclear medicine technologists use radio-pharmaceuticals and special cameras to produce images of organs and to reveal their function. Radiation therapists administer highly focused forms of radiation to treat cancer and other diseases.
the American hospital association did a survey that there is a full 21 percent of vacancy rate. that means that least one in five positions is vacantat. Also that there are plenty of scholarships that are willing to help you pay for your education.
2.Hospitals and other institutions are recruiting in all areas. The American Hospital Association, together with three other organizations, released a survey in January 2002 reporting a 15.3% vacancy rate for radiologic technologists – compared with a 13% rate for nurses and a 12.7% rate for pharmacists. This vacancy rate means that one in seven jobs for radiologic technologists cannot be filled. Furthermore, a full 21% of hospitals have a vacancy rate that is greater than 20%, meaning that at least one in five positions is vacant.
