Hung Do's Narrative

It is midmorning on the cardiac unit where you work, and you are getting a new patient. G.P., a 60-

On a quick note, I am a Radiology technologist (BSc, India) and completed an MSc in Medical Imaging (UK). After MSc, I worked as an applications specialist in Ultrasound for Hitachi Aloka Medical ltd. There were limited opportunities for research collaborations and advanced level contributions. I resigned to pursue a research career.

As a senior this year, I am looking forward to several endeavors, such as leading my team in my last year of cheerleading, participating in a Senior Engineering Design Project, and continuing to volunteer with VSVS, a program that allows Vanderbilt student to teach science lessons in local elementary schools. Moreover, I spent this past summer working on my research at the Vanderbilt Institute of Imaging Science and will continue my projects throughout the school year. I am excitingly close to finishing the project I have been working on that involves a magnetic resonance imaging study of patients with multiple sclerosis. We have employed quantitative magnetization transfer techniques at 7-Tesla field strength to obtain indices reflective

All MR images were evaluated in T2WI and DWI for site, size, and signal intensity of the

Traditions typically can be described as noble and based on morality. There are many benefits to following and keeping traditions, and traditions generally survive through generations because they bring a community together and are a proud part of a community’s identity. Through time, traditions and cultural norms change as beliefs change, and sometimes they can stray away from their moral foundations and become dangerous. When this happens, younger, innocent generations are at danger of blindly adopting these toxic traditions.

Hi, my name is LeAna. I am a student at Midlands Technical College hoping to someday be a professional in the field of cardiovascular technology. Because of my interest in cardiac imaging, I have decided to do some research on the Society of Invasive Cardiovascular Professionals, SICP. This professional organization works provide professionals in the cardiovascular health care field with educational opportunities for invasive specialist, high quality care for patients, and support for invasive cardiovascular leaders. Someday in the near future, I will be one of the healthcare professionals in the cardiovascular field. In this essay, I will discuss SICP’s purpose, design, interactivity, and its influence.

“The mind changes, the word changes, time doesn't stay still, history is a verb, it is ongoing, there is no past tense, future tense, history is constant” Hung Liu told interviewer Rachelle Riechart (Riechart). Hung Liu is a Chinese woman who was born in Changchun, China in 1948. She was born during the age which we call the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which heavily impacted her life. She lived in China for 36 years and then left for the United States. She now resides in Oakland, CA, where she teaches art at Mills College (“A World of Art”). A lot of her artwork is based on photographs and memories she has from China and photographs she’s taken in the United

However, I graduated from the program with discipline, hard work and self-determination, as I saw it a stepping stone to my educational aspiration in obtaining an education and a career in the field of Radiologic Technology. My interest in this program started when I was a teenager living abroad in the Dominican Republic and I had to get a CT-Scan for an injury. Despite being in discomfort and pain at the time, I remembered asking the technician a lot of questions about the equipment and how it worked and what the images of the scan explained about my injury. The field of radiology technology interacts with all areas of medicine and it not only offers specialization but it offers new challenges and offers numerous learning opportunities to further my knowledge. From that interaction with the radiographer, is when I began to pursue my interest

Amy Tan’s Lindo Jong: Double Face is a personal reflection of cultural identity in which she utilizes fictional characters to intertwine true events from the perspective of Chinese Immigrants. At the beginning of the chapter, Jong’s daughter Waverly is preparing to go to China for her second honeymoon. Jong then comes out to say that Waverly won’t blend in as “only her skin and her hair are Chinese. Inside – she is all American-made” (Tan 75). This specific passage characterizes the ideals of identifying race as the Chinese are to look, speak, and act in a particular manner in order for them to belong. Jong goes on to establish what makes a person classify themselves as truly Chinese descent. She utilizes the examples of the Chinese needing

During my observership, I assisted in a couple of research projects that include data entry, analyzing angiograms, statistical analysis, and final drafting. Both research projects have been completed and sent for publication

Every person in the world encounters some type of physical conflict ranging from getting into an argument with a friend to a tornado hitting your hometown. For those of you who do not understand what physical conflict is, it is a type of external conflict that occurs in a story when the individual characters struggle against other external forces. In the fictional book The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, a young Chinese woman known as Lindo-Jong part of the joy-luck club suffers an ongoing physical conflict between her and her future husband's family... the Huangs, in between the ages of twelve years old when Lindo-Jong’s parents leave her behind and the time period in which she lives with her matched husband and his family until sixteen. I will describe how the continued physical conflict between Lindo-Jong and the Huangs reveals her character and how the revelation of Lindo-Jong's character relates to the meaning of the book.

My creative piece was written in the form of a narrative which explores the ideas in “Wei-Li and Me.” The major concerns of the original text implemented into my piece were about friendship, standing up against racism and the mistreatment and inequalities migrants experience when they immigrate to another country. I chose to write my creative piece about “Wei-Li and Me” because I wanted to write a story with similar ideas to it. The story “Wei-Li and Me” could be quite relatable to me because both my parents were migrants so I grew up a little different to many of my peers. The main ideas of my piece that I want to make the audience think about is that even as children, migrants can still be subjected to racism and bullying by other children

In “The Daodejing,” Laozi, similar to many prominent Chinese philosophers before and after his time, discusses his unique perspective of the “Way.” There is much controversy, however, regarding whether Laozi was the actual author of this text or was even a real person, and “his” work is thought to have been a composite. (For the purpose of clarity, throughout this paper, the author(s) of “The Daodejing” will be mentioned as Laozi.) Laozi’s vision of the “Way” is exceptionally challenging to define using words because of its metaphysical nature. Although this term is somewhat difficult to envision, it is what mankind should aspire and take action to be aligned with. According to Laozi, in “readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy,” the “Way” (or dao) is the “source, sustenance, and ideal state of all things in the world” (Laozi 158). It can be best thought of as the underlying guiding force of all events that occur in the universe, and mankind is closer to the “Way” when they realize that all things are interconnected and have an effect on one another. As might be expected, this vague definition isn’t a foolproof depiction of the eighty-one chapters in the “Daodejing,” but one is able to grasp a basic understanding of Laozi’s ineffable doctrine. Although numerous chapters are meaningful and could provide substantial analysis, this paper will focus in on Chapter Twelve. Ultimately, this chapter adequately and efficaciously compresses the teachings of “The Daodejing” into

Ang Lee’s Crouching tiger Hidden Dragon is probably one of the most successful foreign films to ever be screened in America. Being the number one film of the year in 2000. On the other hand it was reportedly considered a flop in China. While it was influenced by American film styles, it still kept true to many aspects of its Chinese film heritage. With very apparent love story, it lacked the Extreme amount of Kung Fu fight scenes eastern audiences have come to enjoy. This is a stunning love story between a monk and widow. While it does have its share of over the top fight scenes, when you start to dig deeper the films many social implications become apparent. With ties to subjects such as religion, martial arts, philosophy, love, and even gender issues. This film is a representation of the modern era and how long practiced traditions are being challenged. Each character and plot line allows a glimpse into the Social and Traditional understanding of a culture.

Magnetic resonance imaging has the potential of totally replacing computed tomography. If history was rewritten, and CT invented after MRI, nobody would bother to pursue CT. --Philip Drew (Mattson and Simon, 1996)
