and would be suitable for Marjorie as she has had sufficient education to perform optimally in the task if she did not suffer from any pathological cognitive impairment. Neurological assessments such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET) scans could also be included to allow the visualisation of any structural and functional brain abnormalities. Atrophy in the medial temporal lobe and hippocampus has been of interest, and may be a potential marker of AD as these

decisions. Corporations also have a social responsibility which involves how they deal with consumers and also other companies as well. Volkswagen was a well-known automobile company that was charged with misleading their reporting on the vehicle emissions test. Many questions arise as to who may have known about this deceit as well as what could have been done to prevent this from happening. One of the disturbing factors regarding the scandal is knowing that it may have been a joint effort between

Should Nuclear medicine imaging (PET Scans) become the first option for diagnosing diseases of patients? Introduction Medical imaging is one of the most beneficial discoveries made in this century since it has provided medical professional with the visualisation of the internal structure of human body. This visualisation is of great significants to the medical professionals in diagnostics and the treatment of diseases. Imaging is obtained by using a source such as X-ray, ultrasound, gamma ray photons

Positron emission tomography (PET) enables the visualisation of organs and their functionality. PET scans utilise positron-emitting radioactive materials called radioisotopes (also known as radionuclides). Common radioisotopes and their respective half-lives include 11Carbon (~20 minutes), 13Nitrogen (~10 minutes), 15Oxygen (~2 minutes), and 18Fluorine (~110 minutes). These radioisotopes can be incorporated into radiopharmaceuticals (also known as radiotracers) to detect diseases and disorders. These

Positron-Emission Tomography (PET scans) Positron-Emission Tomography (PET) scan is a medical test that allows doctors to check the human body for any diseases. Doctors use the PET scan for many things, the main uses are checking for cancer, heart-related (Cardiovascular) diseases and brain (neurological) diseases. It also allows doctors to check organs and tissues and to see how they are working. PET scanners are a way of tracking diseases, using radioactive tracking that is injected into a vein

Alzheimer's Disease Alzheimer’s disease is the disease of the century. This disease is affecting many lives, families, and caregivers. This research presented is to help educate on the topic of Alzheimer’s disease, which many people aren’t aware enough about. Statistics are given to show how extreme this disease is, and how many people it’s affecting in society. Also statistics are presented that give the amount of money being spent relating to Alzheimer’s disease. This research explains

Radiology Humanity, constantly learning, growing, and facing more challenges each second of the day. Whether the challenges are mental or purely physical. We have found more efficient, safer, and easier ways of doing the tasks we may face. From moving cargo, to sending information via the Internet. Probably the greatest accomplishments we have made, are in the studies of medicine/treatment. And to be specific, the study of radiology. Radiology, the process of working and viewing inside

wrong. How the radiology unit works is getting a patient and having the radiologist technician take images of the body by using machines. Different types of machines such as, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET), identify all the images being taken of the human body (Phillip Costello, 2014). After the images have been taken they are sent to the radiologist to be interpreted. After being interpreted the patient is then told their diagnoses

needed six cycles of two chemos every two weeks. Although she felt weak, sick and her nervous system got affected, she successfully completed twelve chemos and she still has one more to go. By the middle of her treatment she got a PET scan (Positron Emission Tomography) and the results were unexpected. Her cancer reduced 70% its size, the metastatic rate was very low and the cancer in her

The first vestige of a technological advance is dated from the dawn of the primordial human organizations, which due to intelligent adaptations to survive, were able to stand a variety of environments and difficulties, being then able to populate the entire world with our species. Consequently, with the passing of time, the humanity was able to evolve even more its abilities, aiming to create new methods to simplify and extend the quality of human-based work. Such process was contextualized as the
