Proud of what he has done in the little time he served, Petersen says he will continue to improve himself as a Sailor. I found out that I could pursue x-ray through Navy Medicine.” “I was always interested in x-ray and researched what a hospital corpsman did in the Navy. “I was 22 years old and decided I needed an education and a secure job for myself and my family,” said Petersen. He is a Bear River High graduate and achieved his associates degree in general studies at Colombia College. Petersen, a Fielding, Utah, native, enlisted in the Navy in 2012.
The votes were cast and tallied to reveal this year’s Tech of the Year to be Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Brayden Petersen. “We actually vote on three different categories most helpful tech, most improved tech, and tech of the year.” “Within Naval Hospital Bremerton we put the tech of the year to a vote within the staff members in the department,” said Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Jennifer Benitez. To round off the ‘Rad Tech Week’ NHB’s Radiology Department held a lunch and voted for the year’s top tech. “Our department’s work is to produce high-quality medical images which is crucial in helping physicians diagnose injuries and treat diseases,” said Soriano. 8, 1895, and acknowledging radiologic technologists and the vital role they play on the healthcare team.Īccording to Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Sonnypaul Soriano, NHB x-ray technologist, radiologic technologists’ daily support patient centered care by performing diagnostic imaging procedures. This year's theme for National Radiologic Technology Week was ‘Waves of the Future,’ signifying the discovery of the x-ray on Nov. scans, ultrasound, sonography, PET, and fluoroscopy are all examples of this.Every November, Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB) joins in recognizing National Radiologic Technology Week and the work of Radiology Department staff members. Radiologists read and interpret medical images, and they collaborate with them.
Imaging operations and radiation therapy treatments are performed by radiologic technologists or R.T.s. All of these inventions have proven critical in the diagnosis of various diseases. Raymond Vahan Damadian designed a magnetic resonance imaging scanner (M.R.I) in 1977. In the late 1970s, real-time ultrasound equipment was introduced to the medical world.Ī woman couldn’t see the fetus inside her womb before this technology.
Godfrey Hounsfield did not develop computed tomography (C.T. Other types of radiology did not appear until much later. People were employing X-rays in clinical settings within weeks of Röntgen’s revelation. X-ray imaging’s medical applications were instantly obvious. He created the first X-ray image of a human body using these previously unknown rays and his wife’s hand. He labeled this radiation with the letter ‘X’ to indicate that it was an unknown form of radiation. This was to honor the discovery of the X-ray by German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen on November 8, 1895.Īlthough Röntgen was not the first to detect X-rays, he was the first to publish a study on the subject. The date of the commemoration was later changed to the week of November 8. The first National Radiologic Technology Week was held from July 22 to 29, 1979, which was over 40 years ago. National Radiologic Technology Week was established in 1979 by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists.
