Advances in brain imaging technology (BIT’s) enable us to investigate the relationship between biological factors and human behaviours in greater depth. BIT’s are used to move away from more invasive techniques of studying the brain‚ such as liasoning - intentional scarring of the brain‚ and ablation - intentionally cutting out pieces of the brain. The brain imaging technologies that will be examined are electroencephalography (EEP)‚ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)‚ magnetic resonance

interpupillary line. Other physical attributes they look for are the irregular enlargement of the eyes as well as irregular swelling of the head. Modalities that physicians use to check for hydrocephalus would be computed tomography (CT). Although MRI is the imaging modality of choice‚ CT is used first used to look deeper into the brain. Along with an MRI scan‚ a CT scan can help diagnose hydrocephalus in both pediatrics and adults. Both of these imaging modalities can diagnose and show the enlarged

Do the risks of MRI outweigh the benefits? Even though MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is considered the “safe modality” of imaging‚ the number of adverse events has only increased in clinical settings across the past decade. MRI is considered the safest imaging modality because it can produce the most information from a patient while not delivering any ionizing radiation‚ unlike x-rays‚ fluoroscopy‚ etc. New safety screening technologies and safety practices have much promise in reducing these

1. List the general responsibilities of the radiographer. A radiographer is a healthcare professional who possesses the knowledge and skills to use diagnostic level x-radiation and its associated instrumentation in the production of medical images of the human body and in the performance of radiologic procedures. Supervision is provided by radiologists (medical physicians who specialize in the interpretation of radiologic images). The radiographer is responsible for positioning the patient properly

The science of Radiologic Technology is using equipment that operates with radiation to produce images that a radiologist can use to diagnose an injury or disease. A Radiologic technologist’s role in a health care team is to assist physicians (radiologists) in procedures‚ positioning and‚ operating equipment such as X-rays on patients. The radiographer is responsible for the patient’s personal safety as well as their own‚ while also the up keep of the equipment. A radiographer must follow guidelines

INTRODUCTION Forensic radiology has a long tradition in the forensic sciences. Its history started in 1895 when the first radiograph was made by Conrad roentgen. Three years later‚ in 1898 postmortem radiographic examination was introduced. Forensic radiology so far as depended almost exclusively on the X-ray and the static image captured on the roetgenogram. Uses and utilization of Radiology in Forensic Dentistry 1‚ 2‚ 3 Radiographs have helped to solve difficult cases in the forensic science

The patient in this case was an 80 year old female. She was undoing treatment for colon cancer that has metastasized into her liver as well. She had complained of feeling fatigued‚ as well as abdominal pain‚ diarrhea‚ nausea‚ and some times getting chills. To prepare for a radioembolization procedure‚ a patient will first visit with an interventional radiologist to detail the procedure. Liver function testing and kidney function testing will be done with a blood draw to assess if the patient’s
