As a pediatric radiologist I would make an average of $322,782 a year (Glassdoor). The earnings of a pediatric radiologist range from $257,000 to $391,000. This would mean I could potentially support a family and be comfortable. This career is on the rise; it is expected to rise 14% from 2014-2024 (Study). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the career is expected to rise because of the expanding population and more job opportunities available in the field (Study). Working…

This paper uses the information obtained from four peer reviewed articles about the importins of an abdominal CT scan for the diagnoses of diverticulitis. The paper goes into detail about the features of CT and its ability to accurately demonstrate the bowel wall as well as the surrounding soft tissues structures. It goes in to further detail in explaining the cause, symptoms, and preventative measure for diverticulitis. This paper also focuses on the possibility of other imaging modalities like…

resonance certain mouse tumors would display elevated relaxation times compared with normal tissues in vitro. The first full-body MRI scanner was created by Prof. Raymond Damadian in 1977 and took nearly 5 hours to produce the first ever full body scan of a human. Dr. Ramadan nicknamed the first Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner the "Indomitable" and it is currently housed in the Smithsonian Institute. Most MRI machines are large, tube-shaped magnets. An MRI scanner contains two powerful…

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the article “Head CT Scan Overuse in Frequently Admitted Medical Patients”, interpret the intentions of the authors, and make corresponding conclusions. The authors of this article are Mina Owlia, MD, Lan Yu, PhD, Christopher Deible, MD, Marion A. Hughes, MD, Franziska Jovin, MD, and Gregory M. Bump, MD. Since all of them have medical or scientific degrees, I assume that they are highly professional in the area of study. According to the published article…

In social work education there is an extreme importance for field placement and field education. The classroom provides a path for students to become knowledgeable of theory, research, and practice that work best with clients. In addition, it also provides students with knowledge of the profession and the writing skills needed to be successful in the profession. However, it is field education that bridges the gap between classroom education and actual practice. Without field education, we would…

What are the different types of adult brain tumors and how are they caused? How are brain tumors treated? Brain tumors are treated by surgery or chemotherapy. Surgery is a very common treatment for primary brain tumors.Sometimes it takes a lot of time to fully take out a brain tumor because not all tumors can be fully removed. Which means that a surgeon will have to attempt to reduce the tumor’s size. How are brain tumors caused? Brain tumors are caused by some genetic diseases which put you…

Davidson aimed to observe the difference between the brain activity of those who meditate for a long time and those who have never done before. By using the PET scan, Davidson found that the monks who spent long time on meditation and two of the controls experienced an increase in the number of gamma waves which have linked to higher reasoning faculties in their brains. It is also found that the gamma-wave areas…

exposed to the germ that causes tuberculosis. Chest X-rays. If possible, a new X-ray may be compared with X-rays you have had in the past. CT scan. This test shows smaller pulmonary nodules more clearly than an X-ray. Positron emission tomography (PET) scan. In this test, a safe amount of a radioactive substance is injected into the bloodstream. Then the scan takes a picture of the pulmonary nodule. The radioactive substance is eliminated from your body in your urine. Biopsy. A tiny piece of the…

survey, on the accuracy of different medical imaging equipment on facilitating the diagnosis of a herniated lumbar disk was performed. The study focused on the accuracy of the X-RAY imaging, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computerised Tomography) Scan and physical examinations as techniques used in carrying out diagnostic tests. The survey was carried out on a sample population picked through a systematic random sample among patients diagnosed with lumbar herniated discs; a sample size of…

Recommendation At the moment, no action should be taken to change the current justice system because there is not enough information regarding neurolaw to make serious adjustments. This entire issue of whether or not brain scans should be used to indicate and prosecute criminal behavior is all heavily dependent on why people are prosecuted at all. While some believe in utilitarian justice, where punishments are used in an effort to prevent recidivism, others may believe in retributive justice,…
