Computed tomography (CT) is a computerized method that uses a computer to process the data collected from the passage of x-ray beams through the region of interest. The multislice CT (MSCT) means CT that the system equipped with multiple rows of CT detectors to create images of multiple sections. The data obtained from the patient will be transformed into “cuts” or cross-sectional slices of the human body (Romans, 2011). In early 1970, they use a single slice CT scan that contributes too many…

The experiment was meant to divide their attention and take note of what and how much was remembered in the end. A total of 178 children and young adults participated in the study; seventy-eight of them were 7-year-olds and forty-eight participants were 11-year-olds who received a present for participating. The remaining fifty-two young adults got class credit. A total of 10 lists were used; five of them had a total of 10 words on each list and all lists were negative, and the other five lists…

After students have met the education requirements of a foundational program and have been certified in either; Radiography, Nuclear Medicine, or Radiation Therapy, only then are students able to start working towards post-primary certifications. The certification and registration is overseen by ARRT (American Registry for Radiologic Technologist). Candidates for CT certification…

Our sensorimotor has many parts to function and manipulate what we want our body part to do. We simply must think and react to what are next move and in rapid millisecond either our hand or leg moves. As this occurs, our primary somatosensory cortex that’s located in our central sulcus has a full chart of information lined up for our function to travel all the way to our spinal cord and make a movement. As Agnosia damages the path of any function of either of the temporal lobe or cerebellum, it…

Imaging modalities have varying complexities that contribute images of different anatomical detail and sensitivity. The modalities show different aspects of the body, which allow for clarity of diagnosis. Computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mammography, x-rays, positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound are the most common radiology exams. Each type provides different ways of diagnosing, monitoring, and screening the body for disease or illness…

correct major 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…

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…

Numerous studies have been conducted on MRI being a useful tool in prenatal imaging of the posterior fossa. Gurbaud (2004) suggests that MRI is useful as a complementary investigation to US in three particular situations. Ranchod, Androniko, & Modi, (2012) detail 4 case studies where MRI was used to diagnose specific posterior fossa abnormalities after having an US. This paper examines research done to examine the posterior fossa in prenatal brains with the use of US and fetal MRI. Literature…

back office and preparing the patients before getting an MRI. Working in the front is a great job, but it is a means to an end for me. I need something more challenging, something that catches my interest and will keep me on my toes every day. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is what I want to do, as I started to research going to school and talking with my coworkers The Gurnick Academy is what caught my…

location of eloquent areas adjacent to the tumor, which revolutionized DLGG approach. The most important techniques include functional MRI (fMRI), magnetoencephalography , white fiber tractography by Diffusion tension imaging (DTI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation. (41,48) fMRI is a noninvasive imaging modality that uses cortical blood flow changes as a tracer for increased or decreased neuronal activity, thus allowing cortical mapping when the patients perform specific tasks. One should…
