Topic for Group 7
Provide details of the use of intensifying screens in Radiography. Use a diagram to discuss the details of the structure of an intensifying screen. Discuss the various screen-film combinations. Describe the handling and cleaning of intensifying screens. What is the result of poor film/screen contact? (Show an image) How is radiographic technique adjusted for variations in screen speed? Topic for Group 8
Radiography has gone filmless. No film? Just as photography is now predominantly digital, radiography is heading in that direction as well.
Discuss the major forms of digital radiography now in use. How do they compare to traditional (film or analog) radiography? For example, how has the introduction of filmless radiography affected Radiology department expenses, workflow, and number of repeats?
Do not get caught up with details of the technology or how digital radiography works. The intent of your presentation is to introduce the class to the current trend in imaging, and the advantages and disadvantages of going digital. Crucial questions that should be answered are: is it cost effective? Does it save on patient radiation dose? Does it expand the availability of images? Are there any adjustments that have to be made by the radiographer to their technique and the way imaging devices are handled? What about workflow? Are there any improvements in patient throughput when we go from film to filmless?

I am apart of group #3 and i noticed that in the energized lab, we have one of those digital machines. I wasn't sure exactly what it was used for but now i know. It looks exactly like the one shown. Guys take a look in the lab.
