X-ray fluorescence

Alternative Imaging for MRI in MS MRI is a great tool for medical imaging and widely used for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but it has some limitations in lacking specificity1. New emerging techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) have the potential to address issues not resolved by current MRI techniques. TMS is a non-invasive technique used for monitoring the central nervous system (CNS) activity and response in a pain-tolerated manner. It…

Long gone are the days of doctors performing blind or exploratory surgeries in hopes of discovering an ailment in their patients. The discovery of the x-ray in 1895, by German physicist W.C. Roentgen, was a major contribution to modern medicine (NDT Resource Center). Years after the discovery of the x-ray, the dependency of such increased, “The number of radiographic and fluoroscopic studies skyrocketed from 25 million in 1950 to 293 million in 2006” (Herrmann et al). Due to the uptick and…

being scanned. Get the picture? Did any of these patients within the age range of 24 -74 have osteoporosis, or osteopetrosis? These pathologies, specifically osteoporosis, is very common in geriatric females, and tends to play a major role in how the x-ray photons are attenuated after they enter the body. Geriatric bone density in and of itself, tends to have a differential attenuation in…
