Fri, 26 May 2006 02:20:51 +0000 http://www.catscanman.net/blog/?p=8#comment-17 Great article. We take radiographs every day. Lots of them. Because of the nature of our patients (animals) we are unable to tell them to lie there "just like that", or to "be still", and then step behind the screen/wall. Veterinary radiology is very much a hands on situation. Try to imagine doing a barium study on a 100 pound dog. It gets very tiring at times too. If someone wanted to do a study on the effects of radiation in the workplace, maybe veterinary medicine would be a good place to do it. later... Great article.

I actually had never considered that there was a problem with either diagnostic x-rays, or the radiation we recieve when flying ... or for that matter, living in high altitudes. All of New Hampshire is on a granite bed. Granite contains uranium and thorium, which constantly give off of radon. Our incidence of cancer is no higher, that I'm aware of, than anyplace else. It's something to think about. I don't believe we understand things nearly as completely as we think we do. This is a really interesting post, Scan Man.
