Ultrasonography is primarily a medical imaging technique used to diagnose pathological lesions‚ organ swellings or foetuses (in case of prenatal care). This imaging technique is performed by an Ultrasound technician‚ who is an ultrasonography specialist. The specialist would direct ultrasonic waves into the patient’s body to diagnose the medical condition of internal organs or foetus’ development. Ultrasound is a non invasive procedure and is highly preferred over other diagnostic procedures. As the technology

Providing a tangible influence to people’s health is something I find personally stimulating and rewarding. I feel that studying radiography will give me the opportunity to study the body through advanced imaging techniques whilst allowing me to help people. I hope to achieve a career as a radiographer with the NHS in the future and specialise in particular departments using procedures such as ultrasound or X-rays. Therefore I consider this course would be great for me. My AS level choices biology

controversial. Many say the dangers of using radioactive materials on human bodies are far more negative than positive. Others strongly agree with the use of radiochemistry in the field of medicine. Nuclear medicine is in the field of medicine by using imaging devices. Doctors use small amounts of radioactive materials called radio tracers that are either injected into the bloodstream‚ inhaled or swallowed. Radiation therapy is also a therapy that uses radioactive materials to treat cancers. The use of

Many recent imaging modalities in medicine‚ such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‚ computed tomography (CT)‚ digital mammography also generate images directly in digital form. Diagnostic imaging is an invaluable tool in medicine today. These imaging modalities provide an effective means for non-invasive mapping of the anatomy of a subject. These technologies have greatly increased

well as irregular swelling of the head. Modalities that physicians use to check for hydrocephalus would be computed tomography (CT). Although MRI is the imaging modality of choice‚ CT is used first used to look deeper into the brain. Along with an MRI scan‚ a CT scan can help diagnose hydrocephalus in both pediatrics and adults. Both of these imaging modalities can diagnose and show the enlarged brain along with the dilated ventricles that results from excessive cerebral spinal fluid within the brain
