Does diagnostic ultrasound have a role in emergency medicine? Introduction Emergency medicine (EM) is the medical specialty involving care for undifferentiated and unscheduled patients with illnesses or injuries requiring immediate medical attention. The specialty is not limited to the emergency department and may be practiced in numerous other settings including urgent care clinics‚ ambulances‚ at disaster sites‚ and even through telecommunications technology‚ known as telemedicine.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has developed into one of the most versatile techniques in clinical imaging and biomedical research by providing non-invasively high resolution‚ three-dimensional anatomical and contrast-enhanced images of living tissue. The two most common groups of contrast-enhancing agents are gadolinium-based complexes and magnetic nanoparticles. Both types of contrast agents shorten locally the relaxation time of bulk water protons via rapid exchange

Diagnostic studies: Define/ Purpose of studies Electrocardiogram (EKG) - is a test that checks for problems with the electrical activity of your heart. An EKG translates the heart’s electrical activity into line tracings on paper. The spikes and dips in the line tracings are called waves. - Check the heart’s electrical activity. - Find the cause of unexplained

As I address the topic of potential stumbling blocks physical therapists will confront in the pediatric arena in my geographical area in regards to radiologic imaging I would like to divide them in different aspects: philosophical‚ clinical/educational‚ and financial. First‚ physicians‚ physical therapists‚ and administrators need to welcome the concept of PT’s actively participating in the recommendation and understanding of radiologic studies and modalities.

History and Science Behind MRI: Open or Closed Case? Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been called one of the most comprehensive and efficacious diagnostic imaging modalities in medical history. It became a viable clinical technique in 1982 and during its relatively short lifetime has become the primary imaging modality for investigations of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ spine‚ cancellous bone‚ and joints. It is widely used for the identification and staging of tumors‚ investigations of large

INTRODUCTION: Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) is a non invasive medical imaging method widely used in hospitals and in research. In year 1946 Felix Bloch of Standard /university and Edward Purcell of Harvard University made the first succesful nuclear magnetic resonance experiment to study chemical compounds‚ they were awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1952. In early 1980 ’s the first human magnetic resonance imaging( MRI) scanners became available‚ producing images of the inside of the

Perhaps client knowledge of different views about the same psychopathology would help to make things easier to ‘digest’ by putting it in perspective. It’s also possible that a client would adhere to the model that they felt more accurately represented them and their mental health (and what’s the harm in that if both diagnostic models point to the same presentation
