Matthew Kivlahan Ms. Maynard ENG 3U1 Friday, October 3, 2014 Positive Developments in Technology Advancements and innovations in all fields are necessary if humanity wishes to create a brighter and better future. Technology that has been created and improved throughout the recent decades is proof of this philosophy. Medical innovations, such as the MRI machine and advanced disease treatments, have helped to reduce deaths over the last half-century. With new diseases and complications arising

Hybrid Gadolinium Oxide Nanoparticles as Contrast Agents for CT Imaging Name: Xinyi Li Number: 250825492 Supervisor: Prof Elizabeth Gillies 1. Introduction X-ray computed tomography (x-ray CT) is a technology that uses computer-processed x-rays to produce tomographic images of specific areas of the scanned object, allowing the user to see inside without cutting. Medical imaging is the most common application of x-ray CT. Its cross-sectional images are used for diagnostic and therapeutic

would help detect tumors, broken bones and bullets buried within bodies, never before seen with the naked eye. Since the invention of X-rays, there had been numerous discoveries of similar inventions, from image intensifier to ultrasound to magnetic resonance imaging. Without these inventions, humans would not have been able to see the inner workings of the body or detect key information in modern times that allow us to prevent serious illnesses where other inventions proved useless since imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Diagnosis of Chordoma Chordoma is a type of malignant tumor that can form at the base of the skull, within the spine and sacral area. This kind of cancer is rare, accounting for 1-4% of bone cancers overall. According to studies by the Surveillanc, Epidemiology, and End Results database, the incidence rate of this disease is “0.08 per 100,000” and is more prevalent in men between the ages of 50-60 (Walcott et al, 69). The characteristics of chordoma were first described

“Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.” –Paracelsus. Medicine is the secret to understanding the human recovery. Everything about us is related in some way to medicine, it is a powerful thing. However, it’s only as advanced as we are. At times we require assistance. MRI scans help physicians diagnose health problems. I became interested

1 NAME AND PURPOSE OF THE TECHNOLOGY The MRI – Magnetic Resonance Imaging – is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses a powerful magnetic field and radio frequency pulses to produce detailed images of soft-tissue, organs, blood vessels, bone and nearly all other internal body structures. These detailed images allow physicians to evaluate various parts of the body and diagnose and treat various medical conditions. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, MRI machines produce 3D images of the body without the

caused by other CNS disease. Due to the absence of a specific immune-based assay, the diagnosis of MS continues to be predicated on the clinical history and neurological examination; that is, finding multiple lesions in time and space in the CNS. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the most important diagnostic tool for allowing the early and more precise diagnosis of the disease. Revised diagnostic criteria classify individuals in the categories of MS into either not multiple sclerosis or possible

When it comes to project orchestrating in the diagnostic imaging department, certain dominant procedures are vital to establish the prosperity of any construction project. Determining the desideratum for the project, analyzing requisites for equipment, space and personnel, and budgeting for the project are obligatory steps (DA, 2016). They are followed by scheduling and designing the miscellaneous aspects of the project. With rapid change in diagnostic imaging technology, there are continuous changing

Alzheimer’s disease, first described in 1907, is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States (Ramachandran, 2016). This disease gets worse gradually over time. People, predominantly women, are expected to live approximately eight to ten years after diagnosed (Bird, 2015). According to the Alzheimer’s Disease Association, there are approximately three million cases in the United States each and every year alone (Association®, 2016). People with Alzheimer’s disease suffer from a wide range
