Tracing back to the 17th century, the advent of microscopy introduced an unprecedented method of directly observing pathogens, profoundly transforming both our comprehension and diagnostic approach to infectious diseases. Principal microscopic techniques have come to the fore, including: light microscopy, invaluable for identifying parasites such as Plasmodium; electron microscopy, delivering superior magnification and resolution suitable for visualizing minuscule pathogens like viruses; and fluorescence microscopy, utilizing fluorescence dyes to differentiate pathogens based on their emitted light. These techniques collectively present a unique diagnostic trifecta: rapid results delivery, cost-effectiveness, and high specificity. However, they aren't without challenges. Reliable results demand meticulous sample preparation and are substantially operator-dependent. Also, there are inherent constraints related to magnification and resolution, particularly with light microscopy. While the medical field witnesses the rise of advanced molecular diagnostic methods, the relevance of microscopy remains undiminished. The future of infectious disease diagnosis appears promising, especially with the anticipated fusion of traditional microscopic techniques with innovative technological advancements, aiming for greater diagnostic precision and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":486537,"journal":{"name":"International journal of bio-medical informatics and e-health","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135886551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

X-ray Procedures for Radiosensitive Pelvic Organs in Saudi Arabia 沙特阿拉伯放射敏感盆腔器官的x光检查

Justification: Before performing any X-ray procedure, the healthcare provider must assess the medical necessity and benefits of the examination for the patient. Equipment and Facility: Modern X-ray machines and facilities in Saudi Arabia are equipped with advanced technology to optimize image quality while minimizing radiation exposure. Shielding and Protection: Radiology departments have shielding measures in place to protect patients and staff from unnecessary radiation exposure. They will be positioned appropriately on the X-ray table to ensure the best possible imaging of the pelvic region. Radiation Dose Optimization: Radiologists and radiologic technologists follow the \"as low as reasonably achievable\" (ALARA) principle to minimize radiation exposure while obtaining diagnostically useful images. They use appropriate exposure settings and techniques tailored to the patient's specific needs. Alternative Imaging Modalities: In some cases, alternative imaging modalities such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used instead of X-rays to avoid radiation exposure to radiosensitive pelvic organs, especially in pregnant women or children. It's important to note that specific details and protocols may vary between different healthcare facilities and individual cases. If you or someone you know requires an X-ray procedure for radiosensitive pelvic organs, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider or radiologist in Saudi Arabia who can provide accurate and up-to-date information based on the latest guidelines and practices","PeriodicalId":486537,"journal":{"name":"International journal of bio-medical informatics and e-health","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135886552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
