Object radiography contrived to illustrate basic principles.

To add variety to radiologic teaching and to lower view box monotony, we imaged ordinary objects in circumstances that illustrate--caricature might be a better word--basic pathologic and radiologic principles. We tried to make each object image an interpretation challenge amenable to solution through logical application of such principles, and the result has added spice to our teaching sessions. Yet object radiography can play only an ancillary teaching role; we use it sparingly and always in combination with cases that illustrate the principles in question. Otherwise, the technique itself may add to the monotony it is designed to combat.

Can a radiographer survive on technology alone?

Communication plays an important role in the interaction between the radiographer and the patient. In developing and using good communication skills, we can work toward providing a more comfortable atmosphere for the patient. By gaining the patient's full cooperation, a more efficient and effective x-ray examination can be performed. Learning to assess our interpersonal skills can sharpen our communicative skills and improve our responses to daily situations.
