In a recent interview, an interviewer seemed very doubtful in my abilities to do well in medical school because I took my MCAT three times. This has been on my mind a lot and made me wonder if the admissions committee here had the same notion. I would like to spend time to clarify and hopefully eliminate any doubts the committee may have in my ability to do well in medical school and also be a great clinician. Some may view the fact that I took the MCAT three times as it took me three tries to…

The most common type of radioactivity molecule used for tracing is the 18F fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). As a medical and research tool, this scan produces three-dimensional images that map the body metabolic, organ, and functional processes to enhance the treatment of individuals(Mayo Clinic Staff, 2017).Ideologically, this type of scan allows for mapping of the…

Cannabis in the Clinic? The Medical Marijuana Debate I remember in highschool in Health and Wellness class in freshmen year, my class talked about the different categories of drugs and their different effects on an individual.

However, in the world of medical billing and coding, these are not any regular test. These and other tests completed by the radiology department are coded unlike most treatments. Radiology coding is often billed by technical and professional components. When components are used is when the total cost of service is separated. By…

By working one-on-one with physician assistants, I gained an appreciation for the PA career and began to envision myself as a future PA. From this experience, I learned the value of hard…

How exactly do medical imaging and geometry relate to each other, you may ask. They are certainly different things, but maybe not as different as people might believe. The property that connects these two subjects is 3D reconstruction, which plays a major role in the geometry aspect of medical imaging. First of all, I should explain specifically what 3D reconstruction is: the use of numerical approximation to rebuild 2D images by a computer taking the 2D data slices, reading the data, and…

Because I was offered a job at Churchill Hospital, but that is not the only reason why I decided to move back. I wanted to find any clues as to where my mom and my brother’s ended up. I enjoyed my job at…

Numerous articles support either modality. The research will be based on the analysis of the different articles and criticising the validity of each argument. They both share similarities in the patient preparation. CT colonography as well as barium enema require bowel preparation, the bowel need to be free from any faeces as its presence can mimic pathology and impair diagnosis. CT colonography offers cross sectional images and allows three dimensional reconstruction. This feature results in…
