amazing program and you come out educated and prepared for the real world. An x-ray technical is also known as the radiologic or the multi-modality technologist. An x-ray technician is a medical professional that deals with taking magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scans, Fluoroscopy, film and digital mammography, and…

Advancement of medical imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, has significantly helped researchers and health professionals visualise dimensional and morphologic changes within the tendon, such as may occur with overuse injuries amongst athletes. Both Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ultrasound have unique benefits and limitations. MRI may be better suited where there is a need for a differential diagnosis while ultrasound can be used to demonstrate active and passive movements in real…

In my first semester of college, I have been exposed to so much and I have learned so much. Learning Basic Medical Science has allowed me to learn a variety of new things that I had never even heard of before or done before like immunohistochemistry, solving case studies, and T1/T2 translational research. Immunohistochemistry was really interesting and complex. At first, I overlooked it because I thought it was my over my head and not applicable to me at the moment. Then, over time I noticed…

1. What were the main findings of Mr. Penzey’s physical exam? How could his CT results be related to his blood pressure findings? When Mr. Penzey's case study was analyzed, the initial tests performed on him indicated multiple findings. A mass was found during the CT scan, located on the adrenal gland; the adrenal gland is located on top of the kidneys, their function is to help in burning proteins and fats. This is how the adrenal gland keeps the blood pressure under control and regulates…

In 1997 Adrian Raine conducted a study that focused on brain abnormalities in murderers that were shown by the use of positron emission tomography (PET). “The aim of his experiment was to see if murderers who pleaded not guilty by the reason of insanity (NGRI) showed signs of brain abnormalities with PET scans. Raine used 41 participants, 39 of which were male and 2 of which were females. The prisoner’s reasons for insanity varied. Six said they were schizophrenic, 23 said it was due to a head…

preoperative planning. In his study, RP models were created for twenty patients with acetabular fractures. Three acetabular surgeons and three senior specialist orthopaedic registrars were asked to classify fractures and design a pre-operative plan based on imaging alone, and were then shown the models and asked to classify the fracture and create a plan using the models. The surgeons felt that the models improved their ability to grasp the personality of the fracture, and in two cases, the…

X-Ray Technicians (Also known as X-Ray technologist or Radiologic Technologists) use cutting edge imaging methods to visualize the inside of the human body. The images they created help the physicians to diagnose and treat illnesses or injuries. X-ray technicians work with a wide variety of imaging technologies including: Traditional Machines, Computerized Axial Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Fluoroscopy, and film and digital mammography. Some certificate programs in x-ray…

Ultrasound Technologist Ultrasound Technologist are people who use high-frequency sound waves to create images of soft tissue in a patient’s body. Doctors and Physicians use these images to diagnose abnormalities and diseases in a patient. They also use these images for women's who are pregnant, to make sure the baby and the mother are both healthy. These people are also known to be as diagnostic medical sonographers. Their average annual salary is $63,630, and their hourly wages goes by…

From the second grade I thought I wanted to be a Veterinarian when I grew up. Of course no one would expect a second grader to know such details, but as I went through high school my mind never strayed away from my future goal. Senior year I got the opportunity to intern at Big Goose Veterinary Clinic where I fell in love with the practice even more. I scrubbed in on surgerys, interacted with clients, and cuddled up on animals all day. It was not until I started noticing how exhausted the…

November 8, 1895 Wilhelm Roentgen 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…
