Medical ultrasonography

waves used was the ultrasound wave. The ultrasound waves, are sound waves with a frequency higher than that of the audible human hearing range (Rouse, "What Is Ultrasound? - Definition from WhatIs.com"). The idea of first applying the ultrasound for medical diagnostic purposes accord simultaneously in more than one country in the world, however the best documented one was in 1957 in Glasgow, Scotland by the Scottish physician Professor Ian Donald ("The Development of Ultrasound"). Donald was inspired

our results, the incidence of acute appendicitis were more in males than females (68% vs 32%) with a ratio of 2.13:1. But other investigators, documented different results in which that male: female ratio was 1: 1.66 [Mardan et al., 2007]. Ultrasonography is an affordable, noninvasive tool whose results can be obtained more quickly than for C T scans [Incesu et al., 1997]. Many studies proved that, ultrasound has a high sensitivity ranged from 55% to 98% and specificity ranged from 50% to 100%

ultrasound investigation of the brain provided the first published work on medical ultrasonic’s. Although other workers in the USA, Japan and Europe have also been cited as pioneers, the work of Professor Ian Donald and his colleagues in Glasgow, in the mid 1950s, did much to facilitate the development of practical technology and applications. This lead to the wider use of ultrasound in medical practice in the subsequent decades. Rapid technological advances in

What is Ultrasound? Ultrasound or ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves. It is a high pitch frequency that cannot be heard by the human ear. In ultra sound the following happens: High frequency sound pulses (1-5megahertz) are transmitted from the ultrasound machine into your body using a probe. The sound wave will travel into your body until it hits an object such as soft tissue and bone. When the sound wave hits these objects some of the wave

This paper focuses on a simulation based on a health care organization that is having financial problems. The simulation is based on a cardiac care hospital called Elijah Heart Center. The paper discusses decisions that had to be made based on financial dilemmas Elijah Heart Center is facing and how these dilemmas can be solved based on the decisions made in the simulation. Phase I: Bridge a Working Capital Shortage The first option, I chose was to reduce agency staff. These types of employees

Conclusion: Diagnostics to confirm a diagnosis of Zika virus were unable to be performed due to the patient’s time of presentation. In contacting the CDC the representative explained that given the location of Martinique and presentation of symptoms it could be assumed the patient was infected by clinical diagnosis. The patient did not need further evaluation other then general laboratory studies and a confirmed negative HCG. Further diagnostic test to confirm the patient was infected with Zika virus

Module: Clinical Instrumentation Module Code: 5BM020 Echocardiography Word count: 1973 21/1/2015 Raj Chavda 1112009 Introduction In this essay I will be discussing the importance of echocardiography in clinical practice as they are used for screening, diagnosis, guiding treatment, assessing recovery and monitoring care. I will be discussing the principles in which make echocardiography possible, the importance of selecting the correct electromedical technique, the advantages

devices such as laptops, cellphones, and iPads can negatively affect humans’ mental and emotional health as well as social interaction skills; many of the increased health problems suffered these days are also the result of an inappropriate use of medical technology. In recent years, it seems like digital technology has slowly changed people mentally, while on one side it feeds them with knowledge, and on the other side it negatively affects people’s mental and emotional health. For instance, some

conditions and guiding doctors through precise medical procedures There are hundreds of different reasons why people need ultrasounds • How Do I Get An Ultrasound? • An appointment is required and will be made through your physician's office. • You will be provided with a signed requisition from your doctor which is to be brought with you for your appointment. • Your preparation instructions are available from your physician's office or the Medical
