Analyzing bone structure
U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Samantha Bradford, a diagnostic imaging technologist with the 35th Surgical Operations Squadron, analyzes a patient’s bone structure after conducting a computerized tomography scan at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Jan. 27, 2016. With these machines, Bradford said they can see 3-D reconstructions, or digital slices of the body, from a patient’s bones to elements as small as blood vessels. When a few seconds could mean the difference between life and death, these scans make it easier to see nearly everything there is to know about the patient. Bradford is a Corinth, Maine, native.
