Last week‚ we have given the opportunity to take tour in the Davao Doctors Hospital to see the Specializations in Radiologic Technology such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging‚ Computed Tomography‚ Nuclear Medicine and etc. After seeing the different modalities‚ I felt happy because it is my first time to take a look and encounter any kinds of machine. Before‚ I was expecting that being a radiologic technologist is a hard job. But then when I had given the chance to see and know what their works are

experience I had with my Aunt. Due to the advancement in medical imaging‚ she was timely diagnosed with a life threatening tumour and successfully treated. This experience encouraged me to research on medical imaging and I enjoyed reading the facts about the accidental discovery of X-rays by Professor Roentgen and its use in medical imaging from the early 1900’s‚ the development in medical imaging over the century including Magnetic Resonance Imaging‚ Fluoroscopy‚ Ultrasound and Angiography. I also applied

ENN103F ASSIGNMENT 2 Positive and negative effects of a particular scientific advance Cardiac MRI (Heart MRI) What Is a Heart MRI? A magnetic resonance imaging test (MRI) uses magnets and radio waves to capture images inside your body without making an surgical incision. An MRI allows your doctor to see the soft tissues in your body‚ along with your bones. An MRI can be performed on any part of your body. However‚ a heart or cardiac MRI looks specifically at your heart and the adjacent vessels

Humanity‚ constantly learning‚ growing‚ and facing more challenges each second of the day. Whether the challenges are mental or purely physical‚ we have found more efficient‚ safer‚ and easier ways of doing the tasks we may face. From moving cargo to sending information via the Internet. Probably the greatest accomplishments we have made‚ are in the studies of medicine/treatment; to be specific‚ the study of radiology. Radiology is the process of working and viewing inside the human body

Some of these sub-specialties include breast imaging‚ cardiovascular‚ Computed Tomography (CT)‚ diagnostic radiology‚ emergency‚ gastrointestinal‚ genitourinary‚ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)‚ musculoskeletal‚ neuroradiology‚ nuclear medicine‚ pediatric radiology‚ radiobiology‚ and Ultrasound (Schenter).

practices. Radiologists’ are there to help doctors determine the illness and how to treat it. “They do this by understanding when an imaging test may be needed to answer a doctor’s question about a symptom‚ disease‚ injury or treatment‚ etc.‚ and also when imaging is unlikely to be helpful.” (Goergen). In other words‚ radiologists’ can use high-energy radiation and imaging techniques to detect problems within the body that cannot always be seen by doctors right away. German physicist‚
