Students in Johnson College’s Radiologic Technology Program recently met with local professionals to learn more about their field of study.
On October 8, 2010, father and son, Samuel and Michael Payne, visited the senior class. The two men are Consultant Radiation Physicists. Mr. Samuel Payne delivered a presentation touching on the current standards associated with radiation practices, protection against radiation, and biologic issues related to radiation exposure.
On October 15, 2010, Jennifer Carney, a Physical Therapist at CMC Hospital in Scranton, spoke to both freshmen and seniors. Ms. Carney taught the students about the importance of maintaining the correct alignment of the spine while conducting any procedures where lifting is involved. She explained the “center of gravity” to the students and stressed how crucial it is to understand and how it becomes aligned when using proper lifting techniques. Ms. Carney also reviewed basic spine anatomy before she led lifting demonstrations in the labs. Students took turns transporting a patient from a rolling bed to an x-ray machine table by using regular bed sheets and a board.

Wow this really seams like it was a wonderful event, I wish I could have attended. I think it is very important for people to realize the risks involved with everyday lifting, even if it is not a heavy object you can still severely injure your spine.
Wonderful article thank you
Great, i am happy to read this unique topic and also appreciate your all Ideas. Thanks for sharing with us because our stress management training system will also follow your ideas regularly.
Interesting article especially with what is happening in Japan right now with radiation. Everyone needs to know about protection against radiation and biologic issues related to radiation exposure.
Great photos also. Looks like everyone had a great time.
good publish, i clearly enjoy this site, continue on it.
