X-ray tube

class, I had never experienced getting an x-ray or any other type of radiation modality growing up. I became interested in the science and anatomy aspect of radiation sciences and also was amazed at how a machine could produce images of bones, babies in the womb, arteries, etc. I traveled to Mercy Hospital in Iowa City for my first job shadowing experience where I observed several barium studies of the upper gastrointestinal tract. I also observed x-ray, CT, and MRI. Afterwards…

ultramicroscopic, neurophysiological, neyrogistohimicheskih and molecular-genetic methods of studying the structure and in vitro brain functions (in certain nerve cells in the brain tissue culture), with the introduction of non-invasive neuroimaging techniques (X-ray computed tomography - CT, magnetic resonance imaging - MRI, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and functional MRI - fMRI, SPECT - OFET or the SPECT, positron emission tomography - PET) in order to clearly see and quantify many…

considered a specialized modality of radiology that deals mostly with invasive image-guided procedures. With advances in technology, interventional procedures can be performed on several areas of the body with success in conjunction with using live x-rays during exams. Cerebral aneurysms often can be in susceptible areas of the brain, and usually, are considered somewhat high risk in nature. The use of endovascular coiling can prove to not only be successful, but beneficial in treatment to…

CT scanners and X-ray machines are extremely similar in relation to the absorption and display of x-rays as they are both able to display bone. However, an x-ray is usually done when dealing with bones rather than a CT scan as x-rays can detect denser materials better. When the x-ray is being done a black photographic film is placed behind the part of the body that is being scanned and when the x-ray beams hit this part of the body, the bones block the x-ray beams meaning the blocked image is…

Radiologic technologists are the human services authorities who execute symptomatic imaging systems, for example, X-beam examinations, attractive reverberation imaging (MRI) filters and processed tomography (CT) checks. Some of them focus on unmistakable techniques, for example, cardiovascular-interventional radiography, mammography or sonography. Radiologic technologists are responsible for situating patients and ensuring that a quality symptomatic picture is created…

story by mentioning other elements that changed when expose to extreme temperatures, ending the chapter with a discussion on yttrium (Y) and neodymium (Nd). In the seventeenth chapter, starts with Donald Glaser, the drunk who was interested in bubbles. Surprisingly, Glaser won a Noble Prize at the age of Thirty-three after he switched his research from bubbles in beer to bubbles in liquid nitrogen (N2). Kean also mentions Ernest Rutherford, who was interested in radioactivity. Rutherford mimic…

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…

tissues and other organs inside the body. Since MRI is a powerful technology, the scanner uses force and strong magnetic to see the images of your body organs in detailed. Second is X-rays, which is told to be the oldest imaging technology. X-rays is proven to evaluate bone fractures, lungs, cancer, and swallowed items. X-rays uses radiation to…

look like if you can see through things like the human body. Now you can because of X-ray! Ever wonder how does X-ray works though? It works by Electromagnetic Waves and its a type of Electromagnetic Waves. X-rays are very useful to society. We use waves a lot. Though there is pros and cons from X-ray. Aren’t X-rays very interesting? X-rays are very useful to society. They help with a lot of special things! X-rays are very helpful for Doctors,Dentists, and others. It is useful because it helps…
