Tech Week at EORH

Pictures from Tech week at EORH, November 2009

I want to thank Vicki, Linda, Lisa, OVMC students, secretaries, and vendors for another wonderful National Radiology Technologist’s Week. All of tech’s enjoyed the food, fun, and games provided during the week, we had a great time.

Day in the life of a PACS Administrator!

Day in the life of a PACS Administrator!

This might not make sense if you are not a fellow PACS administrator, but if you are, it will seem VERY familiar… I love this video so I thought I’d share it, for the PAC’s administrators!!

It’s been a while!!

Well it’s been a while since I’ve posted on the Radiology Portal. It’s not because I haven’t had the time, I’ve been very busy with my other blog, and of course Dave’s Places In Radiology. I’ve updated the continuing education page at Dave’s Places, with new sites that offer ASRT approved and ARRT accepted Category A and A+ CE Credits. It’s really hard to find the free credits any more!!

I’ve been busy at work in CT, new state of Ohio regs on QA testing, competencies for the tech’s, and student’s doing there rotations through CT.

Well I hope to start publishing here again, and updating my daily life as a CT tech.

Radioloplis

 

   Radiolopolis

An international group of Radiologists and educators developed Radiolopolis, which is a Radiology community for education, research and clinical practice. Radiolopolis is exponentially growing with almost 700 new members since March this year – faster growing than any other radiological community.

The community is focussed on only radiological professionals – radiologists, residents and technologists.
What makes Radiolopolis so unique is that it concentrates multiple (some awarded) individual projects in this community, promoting in return these projects to a growing professional Radiology community.

We just implemented a blog feature, which allows every Radiolopolis member to run his/her own Radiology blog.

We would now like to invite all radiology professionals to become a part of this Radiology community.
Radiolopolis has been awarded as “Top 50 Radiology and Sonography Technician Blogs” by Radiology Technician Schools.

Dave’s Places In Radiology Listed on “Top 50 Radiology and Sonography Technician Blogs”

Dave’s Places in Radiology, and The Radiology Portal has been listed on the “Top 50 Radiology and Sonography Technician Blog” by Radiology Technician Schools.
I have strived since 1996 to make my website, and blogs, the most informative, and up to date, resource and research sites for radiologist, radiographers, and student radiographers.
Thank you for this honor.

I just added Architecture for Radiology to Dave’s Places In Radiology.  Please consider a vist to their site.

Company Profile

Architecture for Radiology, LLP was founded in 1994, as an architecture and project management firm to serve the needs of the radiology industry, including: diagnostic imaging centers , health care institutions, radiologists, manufacturers and radiology departments within hospitals. The firm is based in New York City, and has unparalleled global experience in radiology facility design, radiology architecture, radiology equipment planning and radiology construction.
Our company’s exclusive focus on radiology allows us to understand better than any firm in the country the exacting nature of radiology facility renovation.  Our focus on radiology allows us to keep up to date with the latest developments in the field in a way that other architecture firms simply cannot do. Our bi-annual visits to the Radiological Society of North America convention, contribute to our extensive knowledge of the latest developments in radiology.
Our breadth of experience with many successfully-completed radiology facility renovations enables us to integrate program, engineering and aesthetics into a functional and visually-appealing facility which will become the highest quality diagnostic imaging center in your catchment area when it is complete.
We are especially aware of where the field of radiology is headed (i.e., which modalities are expected to grow vs. which ones are expected to shrink, as well as how the growth of PAC systems will affect all radiology facilities) and therefore will be able to program and design your facility to allow for future growth and flexibility where we know it will be needed. 
A fourth area of value that we add is the collective experience of an office of architects specialized in radiology. The office is led by William N. Bernstein, ACHA, AIA. Mr. Bernstein was born in N.Y.C. in 1954; is a member of the following organizations : American Institute of Architects, National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, American Society of Hospital Engineers, Hospital Engineering Society of Greater New York, American College of Healthcare Architects, American Healthcare Radiology Administrators, The Society for Computer Applications in Radiology; Construction Specifications Institute, and the Project Management Institute — Registered Architect : NY, NJ, CT, OH, IA, FL, TX — graduate of Yale University (Master of Architecture ‘85); over twenty years of experience in the design and construction of high-profile, large-scale institutional work; has written two books on contemporary architecture; has prepared urban design studies for cities in the United States and Canada; and has taught architectural design and history at Yale University, Columbia University and Lehigh University.

Celebrating Passionate Pink Day

Celebrating Passionate Pink Day at Our Hospital
On October 17th 2008 the department celebrated Passionate Pink Day to raise funds for the Susan Komen foundation. The staff made donations to wear pink to work for the day, almost everyone participated.
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. If you would like to participate, then visit the website at Susan B Komen.

Our staff celebrating the day.
