    Radiology is a branch of medicine that uses some forms of radiation (such as X-rays or MRI’s) to diagnose and treat diseases (“Radiology”). Radiology has drastically changed the field of medicine especially when MRI was discovered. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging which is a technique in which radio waves are used to process detailed pictures of your organs and tissues within the body (“MRI”). MRI’s have changed the field of Radiology due to the discovering’s of Raymond Vahan Damadian and made

    Radiologists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries using medical imaging techniques, such as x-rays, computed tomography (CT) or (CAT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and ultrasound. Computed tomography, commonly known as CT or CAT scan, is a painless, non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses a specialized form of X-ray coupled with computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (slices) of

    1. A transverse plane is any horizontal plane that divides the body into superior and inferior sections. To give an ultrasound on a woman carrying a child, the child is being carried in the front of the abdomen. The correct plane used is the frontal plane. The frontal plane divides the body into ventral and dorsal sections. 2. Negative feedback is a feedback that causes a stimulus to end. The stimulus in this case is the itch. When you sense the itch, your body reacts to scratching it. When

    Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, is a technique used to measure brain activity. fMRI works by detecting changes in blood oxygenation and blood flow that occurs in response to neural activity. An area in the brain generally consumes more oxygen when its nerve cells are more active, and to meet this increased oxygen demand, blood flow increases to the active area. For example, reading would cause the left cerebral hemisphere to be more active and thus the fMRI would detect blood oxygenation

    1. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): is a non-invasive technique that utilizes electrical impulses to stimulate areas of the cerebral cortex, spinal roots, and cranial and peripheral nerves. TMS can be used to stimulate neurons to promote measurable effects that can be useful in examining the excitability of the cerebral cortex and its associated anatomical connections. TMS may also be useful in accessing the pathophysiology behind the neural activity that take place within several neurological
