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…
X-radiations (X-rays) are electromagnetic radiation that is utilised in performing radiographs; radiography is an imaging technique that utilises X-rays to generate a view of the internal anatomy of an individual (National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering 2017). The use of dental X-rays play a fundamental part in every dental clinic in terms of assisting dental professionals in diagnosing a condition, aiding in highlighting and providing early intervention for various dental…
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…
isotope of the artificially and it has many characteristics for nuclear medicine scan the first one it has a half-life of six hours and it decay by process called “ isomeric ” and emit low energy of gamma rays and this helps to easily exit the body and can be detected accurately also emit beta rays but without high energy radiation dose to the patient is low . It has different number of compounds created for various structures such as CNS imaging it use Tc-99 ECD , bone imaging it use Tc-99…
If installed correctly and operated properly, MRI exams should pose no outstanding risks to one’s health. However, if MRI suits are not properly designed nor operated correctly, MRI exams may result in building damages along with fatal accidents to patients. This is due to the extremely strong magnetic field, foreign bodies containing metal are strongly attracted to the magnet, and the improper use of the equipment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a popular machine used to image the human…
