Electromagnetic radiation

Radioiodine production Radioiodine is defined as a radioactive isotope of the chemical element Iodine. Although there are at least 37 different Iodine radioisotopes, only four of them are used as tracers or therapeutic agents in medicine; these are 123-I, 124-I, 125-I, and 131-I, with the latter being the most common in clinical practice. Essentially all industrial production of radioiodine isotopes involves four aforementioned radionuclides. History of radioiodine production and usage The…

PET is a nuclear medicine, working imaging ability that creates a three-dimensional image of functional processes within the human body. [1] First, chemicals which emits gamma radiation are injected into the human body, then; the system detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a tracer to show images of bones and organs. These substances are injected into the body, and are usually tagged with a radioactive atom.[1] Doctors use this device to create images of bones and organs of the…

Radiotherapy Radiation has many beneficial ways to be used. The type that will be discussed in this report is its medical uses in treating cancer. The treatment is called radiation therapy or radiotherapy (National Cancer Institute 2010). More than half of all cancer patients get radiotherapy as part of their treatment (American Cancer Society 2014). It is often used alongside chemotherapy (D Hermann n.d.). The purpose of radiation therapy is to cure or control the cancer or to relieve symptoms…

contraindication of contrast media In the radiation they are using many tints , e.g. barium also We are using in the nuclear medicine and it’s called radiopharmaceuticals such as Carbon-11 , Chromium-51 , Fluorine-18FDG , Gallium-87 , Gallium-86 citrate , Technetium-99 , Iodine-123 and Iodine-131 . there are all these different uses pigments have benefits and harm . Firstly , we will talk about Iodine-123 is used to diagnoses the patients . It use for routine scan the time of…

give off small amounts of radiation that can be read by a camera. A computer puts all of these little points of radiation together to make a picture. Radio isotope imaging is used by more than 10,000 hospitals worldwide and has become a valuable tool in the detection of many diseases.…

Session on surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are the conventional treatment options for cancer therapy. To maximize the killing effects to the tumor, the combination therapy with surgery and radiation, or chemotherapy are most often used (Tannock 1998). However, for treatment of small, poorly defined metastases or tumors embedded within vital regions, such as brain, conventional treatment options may not be able to provide effective therapeutic outcome (Hirsch, Stafford et al. 2003).…

with radiation (Appendix 16) and instructions for collecting and shipping specimens for laboratory testing by urine bioassay (Appendix 17a for distribution outside VDH, Appendix 17b for distribution within VDH). For clinical management and care of patients with significant radiation exposure or contamination (≥ 1000 times background), DRH may refer healthcare providers, through the LHD Director, to REAC/TS. REAC/TS provides 24-hour clinical consultation for the medical management and radiation…

X-rays are a very powerful and valuable technique that can provide important and lifesaving information. Fluoroscope, is an x-ray device that allows physicians to view live images inside the human body that are projected onto a viewing monitor during a diagnostic and intraoperative procedures. This machine uses X-rays to give real-time video images on the area of interest making it possible to see internal organs in motion such as blood flow and catheter insertion. A Fluoroscopy captures these…

As every coin has two sides, so, mobile phones have also some bad effects. They cause some harmful radiations which leads to some diseases like cancer. My research is probably based on the effects of mobile phones on human beings. It will show that the cancer caused by cell phones is a serious concern or not. Furthermore, it will describe the radiations caused by cell phones and how they are caused. The research will tell the effects of the increasing number in mobile phones…

Cell Phones, Electromagnetic Radiation, and Cancer Gherny Buaiz Universidad Del Turabo Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez ENGL 331 Prof.: Angie Rivera Noble December 01, 2016 Abstract The use of mobile phones has increased in recent times and with them the issue of the implications for human health. These concerns have led to a large volume of research studies. This time I intend to offer a review of the possible negative and positive biological effects of cell phone radiation on…
