Magnetic resonance imaging uses non-aggressive magnetic imaging technology to produce a three dimensional image of a bodily part. This is similar yet different to the use of x-ray imaging for similar purposes, however, MRI has no trace of the damaging ionizing radiation given off during the use of x-rays and CT scans. MRI is generally used for inspection and detection in the muscles, ligaments and soft tissue through the human body and can be used to monitor treatments, diagnosis of a patient…

MRI and CT scans are important in the medical field because they distinguish between healthy and unhealthy tissue in the human body. Doctors use these tests so they can see through a picture what is wrong with a patient. Even though both tests are important and helpful, they have their pros and cons. Many people may think that MRI’s and CT’s are similar because they both provide images on the inside of the human body. These two machines work differently and are used differently. MRI scans are…

pre-assessment. After viewing the data collected from the pre-assessment, it was clear that the students’ knowledge of magnets was minimal. Fifteen out of the twenty-one students who took the pre-assessment had some knowledge of objects that were magnetic, with the top answer being a refrigerator (question…

The ‘Non-invasiveness’ of fMRI makes people to use it in research field and further, in real life. fMRI has poor temporal resolution due to the fact that fMRI use indirect signal. However, it has been reported that fMRI can find neuronal interactions at the milliseconds in limited condition. After inventing fMRI, it has…

With the many advances in technology it has greatly benefited the medical field as we know it. Technology has brought the medical field things as simple as electric thermometers to things like the Sonograms. Now that our technology is more advanced we are able to have the ability to cure certain sicknesses, help control diseases, and even detect cancer soon enough to eliminate death. The more discoveries we make the quicker we will be able to find cures for things like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and…

Introduction An MRI (or Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a radiology technique that uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to look at organs and structures inside our bodies. Single MRI images are called slices can be stored on a computer or printed on film. An MRI combines images to create a 3-D picture of your internal structures. The MRI scanner is a tube surrounded by a huge circular magnet. The patient is placed on a moveable bed that is inserted into the magnet. An MRI…

of Medical Imaging and how the MRI Scan is used in the medical field today. Understanding Medical Imaging Medical Imaging has several different technologies that are used to view the human body. There are different types of Medical Imaging such as MRI, X-ray, CT, ultrasound, mammography, molecular imaging, and Pet Scan. Every medical imaging has a different image when using on the human body. The MRI uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to get detailed pictures of the internal body…

An MRI scanner or a magnetic resonance imaging is a common apparatus used within hospitals which uses a scanning technique to show detailed images of the inside of a human body. There are two ways which an MRI scanner takes images of the human body. The two ways are the use of a strong magnetic field and the use of radio waves. There are two ways which MRI scanners work and the first is by hydrogen atoms. How this links within the human body is by the main link of hydrogen protons which are…

out to the field. I searched the list and saw that my name was not on it. I go to walk outside and wait for the rest of the team to be ready. As I am walking out…
