used to trace the movements of certain substances around plants. An example of this is carbon 14. Carbon 14‚ a radioactive isotope‚is added to the carbon dioxide supply of the plant‚ to study the movement of products of photosynthesis. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) uses a camera to detect gamma rays emitted from the body and to pinpoint their exact location. Disease may be indicated if an organ takes up too much isotope‚ or not enough‚ or if there is an unusual pattern or rate of movement

There is a difference between the two options but every test suits a different research. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans detect changes of blood flow in the specific brain regions. PET scans are not the greatest on temporal resolution. The purpose of a PET scan is to correlate the changes in blood flow patterns during specific activities. The

Physics improves our quality of life by providing the basic understanding necessary for developing new instrumentation and techniques for medical applications‚ such as computer tomography‚ magnetic resonance imaging‚ positron emission tomography‚ ultrasonic imaging‚ and laser surgery. In summary‚ for all these reasons‚ physics is an essential part of the educational system and of an advanced society. We therefore urge all governments to seek advice from physicists and other scientists

Modern technology is now extensively used in neuropsychology because it provides an opportunity to study the active brain. Some of these technologies include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)‚ Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Positron Emission Topography (PET). In a MRI scanner‚ a radio frequency transmitter is turned on and it produces an electromagnetic field. This gives detailed pictures of internal structures in the brain with electromagnetic waves detecting the oxygen usage in

According to recent studies‚ there are less than two hundred thousand cases of bone cancer per year. There are three varieties of bone cancer which are called chondrosarcoma‚ Ewing’s sarcoma‚ and osteosarcoma. The most dangerous out of the three is Ewing’s Sarcoma‚ which only seventy percent out of one hundred survive after five years of the diagnosis. Chondrosarcoma is also very dangerous if it has progressed further before treatment‚ making it only a twenty-five percent survival rate after five

Trading blocs are agreements between governments of countries where they agree to reduce or abolish tariffs and taxes on inter-country trading. While this might seem like a good idea on the surface‚ there are some significant disadvantages for countries joining trading blocs‚ which are also sometimes known as Free Trade Agreements. It�s been long believed by economists and some scholars that the disadvantages of trading blocs outweigh the advantages. Perhaps the main disadvantage of a trading
