The first time I learned about structural biology was when I took Comprehensive Biochemistry I during my senior year at University of Maryland, Baltimore County. What was intriguing was how quickly I learned the concepts, and how easy it was for me to see conformational changes in three-dimensional space. I have always been a visual-oriented person, and until senior year of college I found that it was hard to find areas of research in biochemistry that utilize a person’s ability to analyze…
She diagnosed me with scoliosis. She wanted me to have another x-ray to see if the curvature had progressed. If it had progressed the x-ray would show to what extent. Doctor Short referred me to a specialist in Charlottesville. He explained that scoliosis is more typical in girls than boys. I was fourteen when the doctor diagnosed me with scoliosis.…
it and toss it on the driveway. Luckily, it’s flat. It then pops up with white smoke, revealing the storage. After you bring them to the garage, you open the big one, but it 's sided. After you finish placing a Guillotine, a Shrink/Growth Ray, and a Duel X-ray machine. You wonder who you…
Roentgen, a professor at Wuerzburg University in Germany. ("History of Radiography"). It was discovered by working with a cathode-ray tube in his laboratory where he discovered a fluorescent…
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…
Thesis for Research Paper Throughout life, there are certain technological advancements everybody experiences which affect their lives in either positive or negative ways. To be more specific, the field of photography is a field which has had some major technological advancements with imaging, resulting in the discovery of radiographs, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The chain reaction of advancements from photography to medicine has helped the world in increasing life…
My loving mother, ever since my early childhood has imbibed the importance of transcendence in me. She used to say, ‘Whatever you do, always aim to achieve excellence in it.’ And I have been following it since then. I started rising and shining in school grades, sports, music and various competitions in school. I also got unique opportunities to represent my school in various elocution and academic contests at state & regional levels. This hard work and strive for supremacy honored me with…
radiography. Also, a lot of different people are coming in and out all the time, and I would get to find the cause of the diseases. Therapeutic radiographers plan and administer radiotherapy treatment for patients. "They plan and deliver treatment using x-rays and other radioactive sources working closely with medical specialists to plan and treat malignant tumors or tissue defects assessing and monitoring patients throughout treatment and follow-up" (Job Profiles Radiographer- work activities).…
Past: The Golgi-Apparatus was first discovered by the Italian physician, after which it was named, Camillo Golgi in the year 1897 (but only reported the discovery in 1898), and it appeared in scientific literature for the first time in 1910, but its existence was only proved later in the year 1954 with the help of electron-microscopic studies. Camillo Golgi was able to identify this organelle by using a special staining technique, which he called ‘Black Reaction’, which made it possible to…
Computed tomography (CT) is a computerized method that uses a computer to process the data collected from the passage of x-ray beams through the region of interest. The multislice CT (MSCT) means CT that the system equipped with multiple rows of CT detectors to create images of multiple sections. The data obtained from the patient will be transformed into “cuts” or cross-sectional slices of the human body (Romans, 2011). In early 1970, they use a single slice CT scan that contributes too many…
