X-ray fluorescence

September -The 30-ton rock, named after the town, was discovered on September 10 and dug up by excavation team which was shocked by its massive size.The original asteroid was estimated to have weighed about 600 tons and entered Earth's atmosphere at 14,000 kilometres per hour, where it broke up into a shower of smaller meteorites, according to Scientific American. August -Stanford lled a research shows that they were emerging in the memory technology, based on a new class of semiconductor…

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Dictionary.com defines it as a noninvasive diagnostic procedure employing an MR scanner to obtain detailed sectional images of the internal structure of the body. From my own prior knowledge, Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within the human body. The idea for Magnetic Resonance Imaging was initially conceived by Damadian in 1971 after he recognized…

discovered x-rays. X-rays have evolved drastically over the past 120 years and there have been many new discoveries that are used to this day in diagnostic medicine. Some of the different modalities in medical imaging have also been very helpful when studying art and archeology. Both x-rays and CT’s are used to look at art to confirm its authenticity, archeology for the study of mummies, and also archeology to exam the charred scrolls at Herculaneum and pottery. Over the years, x-ray…

An MRI scanner or a magnetic resonance imaging is a common apparatus used within hospitals which uses a scanning technique to show detailed images of the inside of a human body. There are two ways which an MRI scanner takes images of the human body. The two ways are the use of a strong magnetic field and the use of radio waves. There are two ways which MRI scanners work and the first is by hydrogen atoms. How this links within the human body is by the main link of hydrogen protons which are…

Diagnostic testing for the patient with acute appendicitis included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a Karl Storz image of the appendix. An MRI is a non-invasive technique in which the patient is placed in a magnetic field to examine their body anatomy (Pagana & Pagana, 2014). This form of diagnostic testing provides healthcare professionals with imaging on a specific area of the body with the ability to differentiate between blood vessels, necrotic, and healthy tissue (Pagana & Pagana,…

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…

only take X-rays of bones. Actually radiographic images are taken of every part of the human body, including the abdominal structures, lungs,…

Humans may experience daily exposure to genotoxic chemicals. Exposure to these genotoxic chemicals is often inevitable because they can be found in any environment, from an individual’s home to his or her workplace. The exposure to genotoxic chemicals can eventually lead to high levels of DNA damage, which has been suspected of causing cancer. The DNA damage caused by these chemicals can be measured by sister chromatid exchange. Sister chromatid exchange is a sensitive biomarker that is used to…

Historical developments in the treatment of vascular malformation has been since 1762 by Hunter. Further, in 1851 Virchow and others developed a classification of telangiectasias, and of venous, arterial, arteriovenous, and cystic angiomas. The year of 1889, marked the successful excision of an intracranial AVM that was performed. Vascular malformations can be classified as Capillary telangiectasias, Cavernous malformations, Venous malformations, Arteriovenous malformations. The paper focuses…

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…
