over, for lack of data frames. Low Numbered Stations - when it becomes ready to send, the 'current' slot will be somewhere in the middle of the bit map. On Average, the station will have to wait N/2 slots for the current scan to finish and another full N slot for the following scan run to completion before it may begin transmitting. Therefore, on an average they have to wait for 1.5N slots. High Numbered Stations - They…

Cirrhosis of the liver can be detected by different tests and studies. They can be both invasive and non-invasive procedures. They range from a physical examination to diagnostic test and clinical findings. Diagnostic examinations include blood tests, serum-protein tests, various chemical tests, and ultrasound imaging among other assortments for detection is disease. Measuring the levels of certain chemicals produced by the liver can show how competently your liver is functiong. Blood tests may…

2012). The idea of MRI technology had come from Raymond Damadian who was a medical professor and had founded the company that manufactured MRI scanners (Bergman PH. D, 2015). In the beginning, Damadian had been using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to do scans on salt-loving Halophile bacteria containing potassium levels twenty times greater than most bacteria (Bergman PH. D, 2015). Through his experiments he saw that these same techniques would be able to diagnose cancers and other diseases. As a…

The trauma radiographer should take the important responsible in radiation protection of the patient, member of the trauma team, and the radiographer himself or herself. Member of the trauma team cannot leave the patient in critical situation while imaging procedure are being performed. The unnecessary radiation exposure should be avoid and the trauma radiographer must unsure the team member are protected. In general radiography, common practices should minimal the radiation exposure include…

expect at some stage of his or her life to undergo a nuclear medicine procedure,” (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization). It may come as a surprise, but these include Nuclear Imaging such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), Pet scans, CT (Computerized Tomography) CAT (Computerized Axial Tomography). And no it is not A green liquid in a capsule that is exhaling green visible gas Nuclear Imaging works on the principle of radiation (which is invisible by the way) and how to…

theory to the test in 2013 (Novotney, Shmerling). The study consisted of over 1,000 brain scans of people between the ages seven and 29 (Shmerling). This study took the scans of kids while they were either lying down or reading. The reasoning behind that was the left side of the brain takes action when one is reading (Blacker, “Left brain” 8). When the scans came back, the scientists at Utah split the scans into over 7,000 regions, which showed absolutely no evidence of sidedness. Along with…

An Interview with a Renowned Psychopath A psychopath interview sounds like talking to someone with a criminal history or murders with a lot of gorey details, terrifying revelations and deranged thought processes and logics. But actually this one is a little different than what you would normally expect an interview with a psychopath to be like. This psychopath interview involves Nick Simmons, a writer and television personality interviewing a renowned neuroscientist, Professor James Fallon who…

Lindsey is a 33yo, G5 P3013, who is currently 18 weeks 0 days as dated by a 17 week scan. She has a history of opiate abuse but is currently in a Subutex clinic on 8 mg b.i.d. This is weaned down from 2 ½ tab daily. She does want to wean slowly throughout the pregnancy. She had no PNC until one week ago when she presented to the emergency room for significant vaginal bleeding. At that time they told her she was in the process of a miscarriage. She had some bright red bleeding throughout the…

a patient has HNPCC. Imaging Tests Several types of imaging tests and procedures are used to diagnose colorectal cancer. A physician may request one or more of the following: • Computed tomography (CT) scan: A CT scan is the most commonly used imaging test to diagnose colorectal cancer. A CT scan uses x-rays and computer processing to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. The patient may be given contrast before the test. Contrast can be given orally or intravenously. Oral contrast…

SPECT is a type of nuclear imaging test that describes how blood flows to tissues and organs. Before the SPECT scan, the chemical injection is injected o human body that is radiolabled, means it emits gamma rays that can be detected by the scanner. The connected computer gathers the information emitted by the gamma rays and two dimensional cross-sections is translated from it. A SPECT scan is primarily used to view how blood flows through arteries and veins of the brain. Research on this concern…
