Radiation Storm
by Mike McKeever

I was circulating in the cath lab at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California. I am an x-ray technologist. I was thinking of radiation safety during a long case, and how it is impossible to see, hear, smell or feel radiation. I thought it would be interesting to have a photo depicting radiation during a procedure. I took the photo during a case from the back of the room and modified the picture using Photoshop to give it the look of radiation.
