I am interested in entering the field of Nuclear Medicine Technology because of my father’s medical history. My father was diagnosed in Spring of 2017 with Stage IIB Melanoma. He was accepted into a clinical trial at Emory in Atlanta, GA to hopefully “cure” him. During his clinical trial, he has routine scans that use nuclear medicine technology to be able to see his melanoma sites and the rest of his body at a higher degree then past medical advances would allow. I am one of those patient family

The Gamma Knife: Cancer Treatment Word Count: 1,017 (excluding bibliography and in-text citations) Introduction: During the last few Physics lessons, we learned about the different types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. These two main types are electromagnetic waves and sound waves. In this essay I will be explaining what gamma rays are and how they work, as well as how they function to treat brain and skull based cancer tumors through the gamma knife. I will then also be stating some

in the target area of interest. To find out how the inside of the body is working, we examine under a gamma

damage. Because of this newer dyes are being produced that pose a lower risk to the kidneys of a patient. As with any X-ray, there is some exposure to radiation, however according to the Cancer Council Australia, the risk of developing a cancer from the minimal radiation exposure from a CAT scan is extremely minimal. Doctors typically ask patients to fast for two to four hours before the scan as well as advising that they may want to wear comfortable clothing because a CAT scan involves the patient

Nuclear stress testing has been available for over 50 years (Gerewitz, 2017). In fact, it was well established when echocardiographic stress testing was developed. In the beginning, these two modalities seemed to be in competition. Today these modalities are good alternatives, each with its own advantages and disadvantages (Gerewitz, 2017). There are many diagnostic purposes for stress testing such as evaluation of arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, and valvular issues (Fanelli, 2012). The

discovered x-rays. X-rays have evolved drastically over the past 120 years and there have been many new discoveries that are used to this day in diagnostic medicine. Some of the different modalities in medical imaging have also been very helpful when studying art and archeology. Both x-rays and CT’s are used to look at art to confirm its authenticity, archeology for the study of mummies, and also archeology to exam the charred scrolls at Herculaneum and pottery. Over the years, x-ray florescence

In order to use this nuclear imaging modality radiopharmaceuticals (also called tracers) are given internally (i.V. or orally). The Radiopharmaceuticals emitting penetrating gamma rays are used for imaging, where the radiation has to escape the body before being detected by special scans. The two major nuclear imaging modalities used in pre-clinical
