Create Challenges, 2013). As technology improves, people will only become more wild with ideas of prenatal imaging . In the future 4D images have the potential to be in color and 3D images will soon be able to be 3D printed (The Future of Ultrasound: Color Photos and 4D Imagery, 2014). Although fetal ultrasounds have fun benefits for parents, a study has also shown that “prenatal imaging has improved patient management and pregnancy outcome” (Woo,…

since the 1980’s in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease (Noonan, 2004). Recently there have been several major advancements in the field of pediatric echocardiography that may prove to be essential to sonographers interested in imaging the pediatric heart and vascular system. It is now known that this specialty can be used for more…

Brain Nuclear Scan Nuclear Brain scanning is a type of nuclear imaging test, which means it uses a radioactive substance and a special camera to create a 3-D pictures. While image tests such as x-rays can show what the structure inside your body looks like, a Nuclear scan produces images that show how the organs work. The reason I choice nuclear brain scanning, do to the fact my step mom has Epilepsy that she has acquired from a brain disorder from damage in the temporal lobe area. She…

“Fewer women would have abortions if wombs had windows. More than 90% of women considering an abortion choose life for their babies after having an ultrasound. –Former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson. I am most interested in pursuing a career in the medical imagery field as a sonographer, also known as ultrasound technician because it is interactive, has a broad variety of job duties, and has excellent benefits and job outlook. Someone who wants to become an ultrasound technician can choose…

Radiology Technician Radiology is a career that many people choose for the excitement and glamor. But, what are the responsibilities of this career? In this paper I will answer these questions. If this is the career chosen, what are the education requirements is there additional training necessary in order to become a radiology technician? Knowing the kind of environment a radiology technician works in, what kind of salary a beginning radiology technician could expect, and what kind of…

I am currently attending a United States college. I am enrolled in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program. I want to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Sonography. A Diagnostic Medical Sonographer is a caregiver who assists in capturing a well detailed picture of the interior of the body with a transducer probe and ultrasound gel to create a picture with the help of sound waves. Furthermore, a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer performs ultrasounds throughout the body. With that said, I want to…

Unfortunately, there is currently not enough data available to use this technology efficiently on pediatric patients (Kim, Park, & Eun, 2016). It is expected that over time there will be more extensive data available for use in pediatrics. This imaging technique is essential in monitoring the cardiovascular system of children undergoing chemotherapy. Childhood fitness and strenuous athletics also have a significant impact on the heart and these children should be monitored regularly, using…

I am applying to study Radiography because I am very passionate about the service radiographers provide to millions every year. I am interested in the way radiographers support the medical teams in their diagnosis and treatment of disease by producing high quality images on the inner body. I also love working with people, and becoming a Radiographer will allow me to work alongside a diverse group of colleagues in their care and treatment of patients. I am looking forward to the opportunity to…

INTRODUCTION Medical imaging is define as a techniques and processes used to produce the images of the entire or parts of the human body includes normal anatomy and physiology for clinical purposes. It includes a variety of modalities that gives focus to the needs of the patients. Among this are Ultrasonography (USG), Computed Tomography (CT), Computed Radiography (CR), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Dental Imaging, Fluoroscopy and…

Chest radiography plays an important role in the detection and diagnosis of disease related to lungs. The chest radiograph specifies the thoracic anatomy and provides high yield, at the low cost [1]. There are some challenges in processing Chest X-ray images. For example, in lung segmentation, the strong edges at the rib cage and clavicle region cause local minima for most minimization approaches. Segmenting the lung apex is also a nontrivial problem because of the changing intensity at the…
