Of the over 80 types of ticks active in North America, there are only seven species that can transmit disease to humans through its bite. The deer tick, or blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) can transmit Lyme disease and other illnesses to its hosts. The capitulum on the deer tick is much longer than in other common ticks, such as the dog tick. 2  The capitulum is positioned to the front, and visible from above. 3  The female deer tick has a larger capitulum than a male deer tick.
About one third of radiologists spent 30-45 hours per week seeing patients, nearly the same as in last year's survey. Another quarter of respondents spent 46-55 hours per week, and 26% spent less than 30 hours per week with patients (about the same as last year).
Radiologists who work in the hospital work long, irregular shifts that include nights, weekends and holidays. Those employed by outpatient centers are more likely to work regular business hours. However, depending on the specifics of a given radiologistâs employment contract, overall hours worked and length of vacation are often balanced against the amount of compensation.
