The Technology of Radiology There is a lot of technology included in Radiology. Radiologists are medical doctors that diagnose and treat diseases “using medical imaging technologies.” They use many different tools and machines to diagnose and treat people. Some of the technology used in radiology are catheters, wires, small instruments and tools, scanners, and remote viewing systems. The three most common scans are CT, MRI, and PET. There are many different types of x-rays, the most well known…

Ultrasound (US) and MRI are commonly used in the clinical setting to confirm the presence and location of tendon thickening or other structural change and associated findings (Scott et al., 2013). However, although their clinical utility, both US and MRI are subject to artefacts and may reveal poor interobserver and intraobserver reliability. In comparison with MRI, ultrasound has the accuracy and sensitivity of US (0.63–0.83 and 0.68–0.87, respectively) and MRI (0.68–0.70 and 0.50–0.57,…

technology of mapping the brain can predetermine irregularities in the brain such as frontal lobe damage (p.26). Computer axial technology (CAT) scans combine with information on X-Ray, and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depicts a three-dimensional view of the brain in doing so, a very detailed image of the brain which illustrates areas within the brain that is damaged or diseased (Gaines and Miller, 2011, p.27). Furthermore, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan aids in researchers being…

The extensive recent research utilizing neuroimaging techniques to study pain in healthy subjects has many clinical implications for pain diagnosis and treatment. For the sake of brevity, this response will focus on fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imagining), a method that surveys changes in blood flow assumed to be reflecting alterations in neural activity and maps them to an anatomical representation of the patient’s brain (Borsook, Burstein et al. 2004). The culmination of several fMRI…

Bone is a common site of metastases for many primarily malignant tumors, being the third location after liver and lung [5]. Bone metastases are a major clinical concern as they can deteriorate the bone structure causing pathological fractures, vertebral/spinal instability, severe pain, spinal cord compression, functional impairment and increased mortality. The vertebral column being the most frequent site of bone metastasis and one of the major organs in human body strongly correlated to neural…

Alternative Imaging for MRI in MS MRI is a great tool for medical imaging and widely used for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but it has some limitations in lacking specificity1. New emerging techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) have the potential to address issues not resolved by current MRI techniques. TMS is a non-invasive technique used for monitoring the central nervous system (CNS) activity and response in a pain-tolerated manner. It…

Imaging technologies is used to detect any cancerous tumors, broken bones, and other serious injuries in a human body. It is important to understand how does the five imaging technologies work. The first imaging technology is called MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), this technology is proven to evaluate your bones, breasts, blood vessel, brain tumor, and organs in the abdomen, chest, and pelvis. MRI uses radio waves to detect your tissues and other organs inside the body. Since MRI is a powerful…

Neuroscientists have available to them several techniques to understand the relationship between brain and behaviour. However, the lesion method is the best one to establish that an area is involved in a certain task. Lesion studies have been beneficial in identifying these relationships based on examining brain damaged people. This paper will argue the important contributions the lesion method has made to neuroscience while exposing the problems associated with the functional brain imaging…

Brain imaging technologies are methods used in psychology to examine the human brain. It provides an opportunity for researchers to study the active brain and allows specific regions and brain processes to be observed. Researchers include these brain imaging technologies into their studies, like the Tierney et al. (2001) and Maguire et al. (2000) studies, in order to understand the correlation between brain activity and behavior. The following essay will discuss the brain imaging technologies,…

Patients must first receive a referral from their doctor 2. Patients or doctor’s assistant contact the MRI scheduling department to get appointment 3. Receptionist at scheduling department writes the patient’s name and type of procedure on the daily schedule form (8 time slots, each for a one-hour increment) 4. Patients check in with the receptionist upon arrival and wait for the MR technologist to escort them to the MR machine in the magnet room 5. Patients are questioned about possible…
