Scan

While a lawful stop can become unlawful if it infringes on the rights of the citizen if it is prolonged beyond a reasonable time to complete the reason for the stop, ie: to issue a traffic warning. If the stop had been unjustifiably long, then the scan by the narcotic K9 would’ve been considered unjustifiable and the evidence would’ve been suppressed as in People v. Cox, 146 N.E.2d 19. The Supreme Court didn’t review the conversation between the originating officer and the times of the call…

clinical imaging department at West Middlesex Hospital for an assistant administration role. I did not get the position, but I learned a lot from it as I worked a day filing the pending forms into the RMS system. I found it interesting that each scan had a different code. It was also good to find out that when checking the patient’s history, I have to check for the last time they were scanned as the hospital does not want to expose the patients to too much radiation in such a short time…

Tests for COPD include; Spirometry, Bronchodilator Reversibility, Chest X-ray, Computed Tomography, and Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Testing.  Spirometry helps tell how well your lungs are working. During this test, the patient will sit down and into a spirometer which evaluates how much is breathed in and out over the course of a minute and how much air is left in your lungs.  Bronchodilator Reversibility test is the same as the spirometry test except the patient is given a bronchodilator,…

such as tumours and strokes that do not allow water to diffuse (Berger). The MRI scan can then detect where the water is not diffusing, aiding in the diagnosis of illness. Functional MRI measures the changes in blood flow to different parts of the brain. This has been extremely beneficial to the development of neuroscience. To add, MRI scans are much more safe than other medical examinations, such as x-rays or CT scans. As MRI’s only use radio waves, the body is not harmed. The radiofrequency…

Many times when a patient is ordered a MRI examination, there is a pre-screened procedure that must take place prior to the scan. During the MR pre-screening a number of questions are asked and routinely the question of claustrophobia is included? MRI professionals are very familiar with the claustrophobia of MRI patient and how the MRI imaging team must work to manage patient anxiety. Claustrophobia has been defined as an irrational fear of dark or confined spaces. This sensation of distress…

how diagnostic radiology procedures do affect the risk of cancer later in life. The authors of this article compared lifetime data and statistics from the survivors of the Japanese atomic bombs to children who had been exposed to radiation from CT scans. This is how they began their studies in 2008. The researchers…

the doctor’s prognosis of your disease. Excluding blood test and x-rays, these are the most common types of testing: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) 2. Holter Monitoring 3. Echocardiogram 4. Cardiac Catheterization 5. Cardiac Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan 6. Cardiac…

My final paper is going to be about how sociopaths brain works, also the procedure of diagnosing someone as a sociopath. Some people think that sociopaths are crazy or can hide emotions well. These are all stereotypical ideas of what a sociopath is, but we can't really predict if someone is a sociopath by just talking to them. The correct definition of a sociopath is a person with a personality manifesting itself in extreme antisocial, or not wanting the company of others, attitudes, behavior…

Computed Tomography (CT) is a standard imaging for acute head injury. Disposition of head injured patients with GCS less than 14 is almost straightforward, but there are some controversies about GCS equals 14 and 15, especially in ordering head CT scan for patients [3]. Up to 15% of minor head injuries have serious abnormalities…

The Radiology site specializes in treating and diagnosing diseases and injuries through the use of imaging such as x-rays, CAT scans, MRI’s , and ultrasounds. The personnel there is willing to walk someone through the procedure, and happy to answer any questions. The radiologic technologists (RN’s) are there to help ensure the patient receives the best treatment possible for the best possible results. They make sure both the patient and themselves stay safe from too much exposure radiation, and…
