medical theory, the radiology is a field that interprets and medicates the diseases utilizing the imaging technologies, such as X-ray, ultrasound, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, mammograms, and positron emission tomography (PET) to view the internal organs of the human body and identify the abnormalities. Among these, some like X-rays and mammograms…

Settings England and Telmar Despite there being many gateways between Earth and Narnia (Prince Caspian, 217), most of the visitors throughout the Chronicles come from one place-England. The obvious exception is the Telmarines, who were pirates on Earth but entered Narnia through one of the last “chinks and chasms between worlds” (Prince Caspian, 217). The English and Telmarines mirror the Jews and Gentiles of the Bible; while there may be remnants of either people in the “nethermost parts of the…

Ruiz, 2014). During a CT scan, a patient lies on a flat surface, which incrementally moves through what is referred to as a gantry (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2014). A gantry is a round shaped structure that contains a motorized x-ray source (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2014). This x-ray source rotates around the patient several times to obtain axial images at each degree around an individual’s head (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2014). At each angle, the specific amount of radiation that is not absorbed…

This radiographic technique is used to give information about the position and shape of wisdom teeth roots and its nearby structures. • 3D CT (Computed tomography). A 3D computed tomography is more precise than the standard dimensional x-ray because it involves obtaining the exact position of your wisdom teeth as well as allows you and the dentist to see what is inside of it. Looking out for nerve damage Aside from understanding when should wisdom teeth be removed, it is also important…

which was shocked by its massive size.The original asteroid was estimated to have weighed about 600 tons and entered Earth's atmosphere at 14,000 kilometres per hour, where it broke up into a shower of smaller meteorites, according to Scientific American. August -Stanford lled a research shows that they were emerging in the memory technology, based on a new class of semiconductor materials, will deliver the best of both worlds, storing data permanently while allowing certain operations to occur…

It was March of 1993. Kevin Carter, a South American photojournalist, took one photograph that changed his life forever. His man took one of the most shocking photos that showed an extremely thin infant with a large hungry bird “just a few feet” away from her. Carter later says that he watched the baby and the vulture, before taking the shot, for about 30 minutes to take the “perfect” picture. While he waited, Carter could have clearly called for help or at least carried the baby somewhere…

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Dictionary.com defines it as a noninvasive diagnostic procedure employing an MR scanner to obtain detailed sectional images of the internal structure of the body. From my own prior knowledge, Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within the human body. The idea for Magnetic Resonance Imaging was initially conceived by Damadian in 1971 after he recognized…

discovered x-rays. X-rays have evolved drastically over the past 120 years and there have been many new discoveries that are used to this day in diagnostic medicine. Some of the different modalities in medical imaging have also been very helpful when studying art and archeology. Both x-rays and CT’s are used to look at art to confirm its authenticity, archeology for the study of mummies, and also archeology to exam the charred scrolls at Herculaneum and pottery. Over the years, x-ray…
