Technology has been the number one influence throughout individual’s lives. It refers to the use of machinery and equipment evolved from scientific knowledge or dealing with engineering. Most of these technologies can be found all over the world. It is what shapes society and makes living much easier. The most essential forms of technology is social media and the medical field. Social media is known as a place where individuals communicate and interact with their friends. It builds an online relationship between peers who don’t see each other often. And with the medical field many lives are saved through technology and without it a lot of people wouldn't be alive. I believe the use of social …show more content…
One of the most important way is ultra sound. Many people like myself don't notice how much a ultrasound can save a person life. The uses of a ultrasound can help detect disease. According to the American Heart Association , “Contrary to popular belief, heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States and stroke is the No. 1 cause of serious, long-term disability. many women never receive the advance treatment they need. For patients showing symptoms of illness, ultrasound can examine the heart and circulatory system and provide important information about their structure and function. Ultrasound images can measure the chambers of the heart, visualize valve abnormalities as well as evaluate the efficiency of the heart in pumping blood to the rest of the body-all of which can help with early detection by determining the presence or risk of heart disease, including coronary artery disease.”(ASHA) In other words you get plenty of feedback from the ultrasound. It helps you understand if your rest of body is getting enough blood in it. Also it helps create a picture of the heart. This helps a lot of doctor understand what is wrong with their patient and what they can do to help them just from a …show more content…
Everyone know the earlier you detect can the better chance you have to live. An ultrasound can help detect certain tissue that is infected with the cancer. It states , Cancer of the prostate is the most common cancer among American men, affecting about one in five men during the course of a lifetime-and the most common cause of death from cancer in men over age 75. Prostate cancer is most common among African-American men over 60 years old and a health risk that all men should take seriously As with other cancers for which a cause is unknown, early detection is the most valuable weapon in this battle. If a problem in the prostate is suspected, ultrasound can allow a physician or radiologist to accurately acquire a tissue sample or biopsy from areas of the prostate. The exam is conducted through the use of a small probe and may be carried out in conjunction with other exams, including the important prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test; most men with prostate cancer show elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen, a protein that is produced by the prostate
