    the results of the tests. The findings of the final outcomes showed that the totals of 614 lymph nodes were detected in 116 patients. However, of those 274 were negative and 340 were found out to be positive nodes. It was surprising to many of the medical profession as the PET/CT was concluded to be more sensitive, specific and accurate in diagnosing node (Rappeport, et, al., 2009). Furthermore, it was found out to be 93.2%, 98.2% and 95.3% respectively as per different findings. In constant,…

    was the real first medical application of NMR into medical purposes. From this over the next decade it lead to the production of the first MRI machine and test and the production of the first ever internal image of a human body in 1973 by Paul Lauterbaur and his team. All these developments over countless decades has led to the ability to diagnose and treat cancer earlier and has saved thousands of lives in the process.

    tremendous discovery changed the future of medical and dental professions, creating a new era for advances and improvements in the medical and dental field. Many other discoveries followed this monumental innovation, and in the late 1940 (s) MRI were discovered. The founding father of MRI is Raymond Damadian, who received a Nobel Prize in 1952. (Reference #1) During its beginnings, MRI was used for chemical and physical analysis only, later in 1977 the medical history saw the first MRI…

    aesthetic deformities or both (Pompili et al., 1998). Today, three-dimensional (3D) models of anatomical structures can be constructed based on anatomical information from scanning data coming from computerized tomography (CT). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is used to 3D modelling of soft tissues and computerized tomography (CT) for Hard tissues (i.e. bone) of the human body. The fact is face is a symmetrical structure, so abnormalities on one side of the face or skull have a mirror…

    Neuroimaging is a technique that produce images of brain without any direct contact with the inside of the body such as internal surgery, incision of the skin. Neuroimaging technology become a powerful tool for both research and medical diagnosis. Because these technologies enable noninvasive visualization of the structure and functional segments of the brain. The field of neuroimaging has advanced rapidly day by day due to the development in technology and computational methods. 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…

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical technology that uses magnetic fields to interact with protons in the human body, producing an image that allows doctors to diagnose disease and/or injuries (DiGiuseppe, Haberer, Salciccioli, Sanader, & Vavitsas, 2012). The idea of MRI technology had come from Raymond Damadian who was a medical professor and had founded the company that manufactured MRI scanners (Bergman PH. D, 2015). In the beginning, Damadian had been using Nuclear Magnetic…

    for their occupation. It was not until high school I decided I wanted to pursue the medical field since I have always had a strong notion to help those that are in need. Soon after a coworker of mine suggested the radiologic technology program at Roane State Community College. I began doing research on radiography and I was very intrigued. My favorite subject has always been science and the physics involved in imaging seemed interesting. So far it was looking like a major I could stay driven and…

    result in building damages along with fatal accidents to patients. This is due to the extremely strong magnetic field, foreign bodies containing metal are strongly attracted to the magnet, and the improper use of the equipment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a popular machine used to image the human anatomy in multiple cross sectional slices. Unlike Computed Tomography, MRI machines do not use any ionizing radiation to develop these images. However, an extremely strong magnetic field and…
