P s y c h o l o g y someone about their obstacles, they cut themselves to forget about them and focus on their deep tissue being punctured. Some of the students said that just being interviewed and talking to someone who is open-minded really helped them out and gave them a different aspect on mutilating themselves. To keep others from starting this upsetting act, we need to encourage people not to be so judgmental and to be a listener to those in need of comfort and understanding. I have never understood why people hurt themselves to avoid their problems and I always looked down on them because I assumed they were doing it just for attention. My best friend used to cut himself when we were younger; he started it up right after his parents went through a divorce. I did not judge him but I could never comprehend why he felt the need to do that to himself. We fought about it quite a bit and I finally convinced him to stop because he saw how upset it made me and he realized that I was there for him to talk to always. I cannot imagine doing that to myself because I have never had anything truly terrible happen to me and generally I am a very happy person. I learned that to really understand someone and what they are going through you have to put yourself in their shoes instead of just thinking about your life and how you handle things. Each person is different so the way you handle situations might not be the best way for someone else to handle the same situation. In this journal article it says “phenomenology is the study of the world as we experience it in the present” (as cited in Moyer, 2007, p.43). I love the meaning of this word because it sounds to me like a fascinating study and the way to really discover things is by experiencing them yourself instead of hearing about other people’s experiences at a different time. We all interpret things differently and you cannot learn from someone else’s interpretations. I agree with everything I have read in this journal article and I believe that the researchers were very successful in their findings. References Moyer, M., & Nelson, K. W. (2007).

R a d i o l o g i c T e c h . R e s e a r c h P a p e r Radiologic Technology Program. Paper submitted for the Award of Merit student competition at the Texas Society of Radiologic Technologists Annual Meeting. Joanna Slover’s essay, “The Effect of New Technologies on the Future of Mammography,” explores the latest research and technology developed for the screening of breast cancer. A Radiologic Technology student, Joanna sees daily the benefits of various imaging modalities and other examinations that benefit the patient. Joanna’s essay discusses current standards of breast cancer screening in clinical practice, as well as imaging modalities such as MRI and the special characteristics it offers to patients. Joanna’s main topic investigates testing of saliva for breast cancer. The possibilities of using saliva testing as a screening tool for breast cancer due to low costs and lack of invasiveness are appealing on a variety of levels. The reader, layperson or healthcare provider, can see the possibilities ahead with utilizing saliva testing. Saliva testing is still in case-study stages and is not currently approved by the FDA for screening the general public. Joanna received 2nd place with this essay at the 2008 Texas Society of Radiologic Technologists Annual Meeting in South Padre Island, Texas. Melanie Hail The Effect of New Technologies on the Future of Mammography by Joanna Slover Breast cancer is the second most common cause of death for women (Schatz, 2007) and the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide (Dunham, 2008). According to the American Cancer Society, about 465,000 women died from breast cancer in 2007, and 1.3 million new cases were diagnosed. The American Cancer Society’s breast cancer screening guidelines currently recommend an annual mammogram and clinical breast exam for women ages 40 and over. Presently, additional methods of detecting asymptomatic breast cancer include ultrasound, nipple aspiration, and ductal lavage. Scientists at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston recently announced that they are developing a saliva test capable of detecting the disease (Dunham, 2008).
