Magnetic resonance imaging

Imaging studies have transcended the historically common musculoskeletal use becoming a crucial tool in most health care fields providing valuable information in the diagnosis and management of many conditions and diseases. One of those conditions is the continuing growing epidemic of obesity in the United States of America becoming one of the major causes of mortality in our country. Obesity is not an isolated cosmetic element (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2012); it is a serious…

laparotomy Overview: A laparotomy is a large incision made in the abdomen. Exploratory laparotomy is used to view and examine structures inside the abdominal cavity. Those include section • Appendix • bladder • gallbladder • Intestine • kidney and ureter • Liver • pancreas • Spleen • Stomach • uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries (in women) Surgery that opens the abdomen is called laparotomy. causes: on the basis of causes section varies: Large and small intestine: a bowel perforation, bowel…

According to the author of the article, the development of human’s brain starts while the person is still a fetus in their mother’s womb. Nevertheless, it is usually rather unfortunate that the normal development of the brain is interfered with by neurological disorders. One such disorder is the Autism neurological disorder that affects communication skills and social interaction in humans. Well, study has revealed, Autism just like other neurological disorders emanates from disturbances caused…

After a month, she became ill from the flu, so I took her to the ER. The problem was that she did not speak English, so I translated for her. When we arrived to the ER, the doctor did many medical exams, as an example blood test, X-ray, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Later, the doctor came with the results, and he said that my grandmother had bronchitis. The doctor also saw something very rare in her lungs which he called it pulmonary emphysema and in the blood test, the results shows…

Several methods of technology are available that record and measure brain function like the electroencephalography (EEG) or the single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) but I feel the most useful method would be the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) due to its ability to be used repeatedly on patients in a noninvasive manner. The fMRI can localize specific brain functions but due to a time lag, investigators are not able to study…

You shared your dissatisfaction with the care you have received from Kaiser Permanente. You stated that on August 24, 2016, you had a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan done at Banner Health. On September 9, 2016, you were informed by Kaiser Permanente, the image completed at Banner Health was done incorrectly and a second MRI was needed. You have requested for file a formal complaint. In addition, you have asked for the second MRI charges in the amount of $158.73 be adjusted off of your…

medical disorders can be treated by using magnetic fields (“Magnetic Healing”). Magnet therapy has become increasingly popular over the years, causing the sale of magnets for medical purposes to become billion dollar industry (Palermo). Magnetic healing is considered to be a pseudoscience by the scientific community due to the commonly falsified support it receives. Oftentimes, supporters of magnet therapy have trouble agreeing on one single reason as to why magnetic therapy works. Some say…

drainage into the duodenum, and any remaining stones in the biliary ducts (Bontrager & Lampignano, 2014). There are different types of cholangiography's including percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), intraoperative cholangiography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Each of these procedures has the main focus of demonstrating the biliary ducts, but each procedure is done a little differently (MyDr,…

study an individual’s brain function, thus indicating how these techniques help to understand how the brain works, some of these techniques include: Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Computed Tomographic (CT), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Magnetoencephalography (MEG). This essay will discuss techniques in detail, in order to attempt to determine how much certain neuroscientific techniques have contributed to the understanding of brain function…
