Radiologic Technologist, also known as medical radiation technologist and as radiographer, performs imaging of the human body for diagnosis or treating medical problems. Radiologic technologists work in hospital, clinics, and private practice. They use their expertise and knowledge of handling, physics, anatomy, physiology, pathology and radiology to assess patients. There are a lot of special procedure in radiologic field one of that is Upper GI series, also upper gastrointestinal tract radiography, is a radiologic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract. It consists of a series of X-ray images of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. The most common use for this medical testing is to look for signs of ulcers, acid reflux disease, uncontrollable vomiting, or unexplained blood in the stools. Barium sulfate is use on this procedure a harmless chalky, waterinsoluble compound that does not permit x-rays to pass through it. Taken before or during an examination, it causes the intestinal tract to stand out in silhouette when viewed through a fluoroscope or seen on an x-ray film. In addition to barium, the radiologist may use a gas, such as air or a carbonated substance. You may be given a powder, tablet, or carbonated beverage that produces gas when swallowed. Alternately, you may drink the barium through a perforated straw so that you swallow air with the barium. Air or gas will appear black on X-ray film, contrasting with the bariums white image. The use of the two substances, barium and gas, is called a double contrast study. Ulcers, Dysphagia, Hiatal Hernia, Benign Tumors, Cancer, inflammation, and structural problems such as polyps and diverticula. Normally patients are curios on this procedure because of its low availability. There are some risk on this special procedure so you may ask first for the assistance of your physician. Pregnancy, Bowel obstruction or constipation, Bowel perforation and severe swallowing difficulty. Before the procedure there are several patient preparation that is discussed by the physician and given you a chance to ask any question that you might have about the procedure. During the procedure another set of preparation is advice by the radiologic technology and after the procedure the you may resume your normal diet and activities after an upper GI series, unless your physician advises you differently. Barium may cause constipation or possible impaction after the procedure if it isn't completely eliminated from your body. You may be advised to drink plenty of fluids and eat foods high in fiber to expel the barium from the body. You may be given a laxative to help expel the barium. barium isn't absorbed into the body but passes through your entire gastrointestinal tract, your bowel movements may be lighter in color until all of the barium has been excreted. Water-soluble contrast such as Gastrografin may cause nausea, vomiting, and or diarrhea. There are a lots of awkward patient preparation on this procedure that causes curiosity to the patient. So we the researcher believed that by identifying patient individual feelings we can formulate personalized patient care. This will be a good help for better patient cooperation that will result to success.
