Radiology

but in the long run, it is going to be all worth it. The University of Texas Tech, home of the Red Raiders, is best known for their medical program which will help me build a future career in the medical field. I am hoping to build a career as a Radiology Technician and I am hoping Texas Tech will help me fulfill that dream. The requirements and admissions of Texas Tech are founded on their website. For example, the cost of sending and filling out an application fee is seventy-five dollars…

The foot is a complex conglomerate of joints, ligaments, and muscles. It is through the interplay of these structures which gives humans the ability to walk and perform different functional tasks in a bipedal stance. The foot is vulnerable to a significant amount of stress during the daily grind. Hence, these repetitive stress at times can be the antecedent to certain foot pathology. This theory on repetitive stress is currently one of the accepted causes of a painful foot condition known as…

Nearly all ancient societies practiced body modification through either piercingss or tattoos. These ancient practices are becoming ever more present in our modern Canadian society, especially tattoos. One writer says, “Permanent tattooing is the process of body modification by deposition of a pigment into the dermis” (Simunovic and Shinohara 525). In the past three decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become increasingly popular in the medical field. Magnetic resonance imaging is a…

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of study An ultrasound test uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal body organs. Imaging tests can identify abnormalities and helps in diagnosing conditions. A Transvaginal sonography/scan (TVS) is a type of pelvic ultrasound used to examine female reproductive organs. This includes the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, and vagina. “Transvaginal” means “through the vagina.” This is an internal (or intracavitary) examination.…

Being an Nuclear Medicine Technologist would be a great career. It would be great for the following reasons: The great work environment, the education and training, the skills you need to know, and the salary and outlook. First, the work environment. The work is done in the medical field. It works with administer radiopharmaceuticals and radiation devices to treat diseases using a radioisotope with a physician. It takes 40 hours of time during the week, and the job locations are at community…

In my paper I’m going to write about PET/MR how it was developed and how they both work together. Also on the individual level what PET does and what MR does separately.The importance in the nuclear medicine and how it help the patients. And the risk that it has on the patient's. Both are very important in Nuclear Medicine because we use this on daily bases in our day to day. It helps detect disease in patients and we treat them by using PET/MR and seeing how their body is functioning of course…

X-rays is one type of electromagnetic radiation that can send waves through the body which makes us see through the body tissue but it doesn’t go through the bone. Therefore it is used in hospitals to see if a person has a broken bone or any diseases. Because it can go through clothes and the human skin it is also used in airports to see if anybody has a knife or anything dangerous with them. X-rays were first discovered by German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1985. Roentgen found x-rays…

Throughout this paper I will be discussing how Medical Imaging uses wave behavior, why it is needed, and how it captures information and energy. I will also be explaining the differences between the types 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,…

The history from the birth and discovery of MRI over the past years and eras is such an interesting story to tell from its discovery when its fundamentals originated as NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and its leaps forward have saved thousands of lives and yielded 5 Nobel Prizes in the process. [12] [15] The story of the origins of MRI begins over 130 years ago whom can only be described as one of the most amazing pioneers in physics today. Nikola Tesla discovered the phenomena of Rotating…

The best imagining device that would be best to use to localize the tumor in the man’s brain is the MRI. This is because the MRI, which is also known as the Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a scanner that uses a powerful magnet and radio waves linked to a computer to create remarkably clear and detailed cross sectional images of the body. The MRI machine can be used to view, monitor or diagnose various things. It can be used to identify and monitor abnormalities of the brain and spinal cord, and…
