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…

contributions the lesion method has made to neuroscience while exposing the problems associated with the functional brain imaging technique. The lesion method is central to neuroscience because it can establish a causal relationship between a brain area and a function. The logic behind this method relies on the idea that people who have brain damage experience a loss in a certain…

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,…

Our generation is faced with many growing global issues. Many of which have to do with solving medical and healthcare matters. As population increases, as does the risk of an increase in the spread of disease or epidemic growth. This calls for a growing need in biomedical engineering to develop the ideas to save humanity in the future. Biomedical Engineering is a complex process of solving, and then designing ways to solve problems in the human body using medicines or technology to improve…

Advantages of Endoscopic Septoplasty Endoscopic Septoplasty is associated with several advantages over the traditional one. It has many benefits such as magnification, suboptimal view of middle turbinate, better illumination and visualization. Separation of collagenous fibers connecting the perichondrium and periostium to underlying bone and cartilage is made visible with endoscope during surgical dissection. Mucosal disruptions are recognized immediately, and their size may be controlled using…

“He stopped breathing and turned blue!” exclaimed a young mother to the 911 operator. It was a cold winter night. As a mother went to check on her toddler son sleeping in his crib, she made a shocking discovery. The toddler had stopped breathing, his body was stiff as a stick, his eyes had popped wide open, and his skin had turned blue! The terrified mother immediately reached for the phone and dialed 911 for help. As she waited for the ambulance to arrive, the distraught mother performed CPR…

Purpose: The purpose of this memorandum is to present an analysis of the person(s) who would read this report. This report was created as one of the projects for a Writing for Technical Professional class. The goal of this project was to analyze the success of a medical innovation. My chosen topic was Focused Ultra Sound that enhance the drug delivery for treatment of CNS diseases. Audience Description: While writing this technical report, I imagined 2 types of people who would read it. The…

Advantages of MRI: By choosing the appropriate pulse sequence and pulse sequence parameters, MRI has the ability of producing images by different contrast mechanisms giving it tremendous flexibility. Disadvantages of MRI: INFLAMMATORY PROCESS OF THE LUMBAR SPINE Spondylodiscitis: Introduction: Spondylodiscitis is a rare primary infection of the intervertebral disc with secondary infections of the vertebrae. It can lead to osteomyelitis of the spinal column. Predisposing factors include age,…

affected by Brain Cancer?The most common brain tumors are gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, vestibular schwannomas, and primitive neuroectodermal.Brain Cancer starts with a brain tumor which can be found by a Mri scan. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. I Myself have been in an MRI machine it looks like a big white tube where you going inside and stay still for 30…

extension and rarely by meta size (spread) outside the brain. The extraction of brain tumors and its analysis are demanding. In recent years, segmentation of brain tumors in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an emerging area of research in the field of the medical imaging system. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the best technologies to detect tumor in the brain. With the help of the MRI image, brain cancer…
