Imaging technologies is used to detect any cancerous tumors, broken bones, and other serious injuries in a human body. It is important to understand how does the five imaging technologies work. The first imaging technology is called MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), this technology is proven to evaluate your bones, breasts, blood vessel, brain tumor, and organs in the abdomen, chest, and pelvis. MRI uses radio waves to detect your tissues and other organs inside the body. Since MRI is a powerful…

Many different modalities are used in interventional imaging such as: computed tomography, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance, and ultrasound (Farrell, p. 375, 2014). With the advances in imaging technology, interventional radiology (IR) is a quickly growing, and becoming a popular advanced specialty. IR is a form of minimally invasive imaging that is used to assist in procedures. Interventional radiology can be used to treat as well as diagnose disease. There are many types of disease that can…

certain parts of the body, such as soft tissues, the pelvis, blood vessels, the lungs, the brain, the heart, abdomen and bones. CT is also often the preferred method of diagnosing many cancers, such as liver, lung and pancreatic cancers. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technology that uses radio waves and a magnetic field to create detailed images of organs and tissues. MRI has proven to be highly effective in diagnosing a number of…

underlying brain, correct major aesthetic deformities or both. Today, three-dimensional (3D) models of anatomical structures can be constructed based on anatomical information from scanning data coming from computerized tomography (CT) [7,15]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is used to the 3D modelling of soft tissues and computerized tomography (CT) for hard tissues (i.e. bone) of the human body. Basically, the skull is symmetrical structure; regularly abnormalities on one side of the…

Magnetic resonance imaging is a process that is used to examine tissues and organs inside your body by watching how atoms respond to a strong magnetic field. Using strong radio waves/signals, the computer searches for the frequencies for specific types of atoms. Even…

less serious, it could come for once and never come again. For these reasons, diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is not straightforward, however, there are several tests that could determine whether you have it or not. The first one is the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI is a diagnosing tool that visualize the brain, spinal cord, or other parts of the body in a most sensitive non-invasive way.2 MRI is particularly useful in detecting central nervous system demyelination (removal of the…

The diagnosis of brain tumor plays an important role in image processing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is suited for monitoring and evaluating brain tumors. Coronal, sagittal and axial are the three types of image orientation in brain tumors. The coronal are dividing the body into front and back halves. The sagittal is dividing the body…

Measuring Brain Activity to Reconstruct Visual Experiences The principle of perpetual evidence states that brain activity is not random, and that the processes we use in mental visualizations are used in visual perception as well. The firing of neurons that occurs when one imagines shooting a free throw are the same neurons that fire when actually doing so. The fact that brain activity is complex and calculated has helped scientists see how the brain functions, and what areas are associated with…

technology of mapping the brain can predetermine irregularities in the brain such as frontal lobe damage (p.26). Computer axial technology (CAT) scans combine with information on X-Ray, and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depicts a three-dimensional view of the brain in doing so, a very detailed image of the brain which illustrates areas within the brain that is damaged or diseased (Gaines and Miller, 2011, p.27). Furthermore, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan aids in researchers being…

Maggots are usually associated as pests, but now they can save lives! Well, I’m not referring to the real ones. They are robotic maggots! In a few years, these manufactured pests will be able to help neurosurgeons. They can help save patients facing brain tumors and will change the outlook of surgery. Robots won’t replace humans, but they can improve our abilities. Technology is being more and more integrated in the medical field. Robots can have their own specialties depending on what procedure…
