Tinnitus referred as ears ringing‚ in humans‚ can be caused by a variety of factors; such as high-level sound exposure‚ ototoxic drugs‚ and hearing loss. It is basically the self perception of sound in the absence of acoustic stimulation. the sound waves hit the outer ear and converge into the ear drum. The vibrations at ear drum are transferred into the inner rear through the middle ear. Once the sound waves reach inner ear‚ they travel through the cochlea towards the organ of corti. Further the

many imaging modalities used to investigate in patient with suspected biliary abnormality such as transabdominal ultrasound‚ endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)‚ ERCP‚ CT‚ MRI or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC). MRI has now been increasing use and can reduce the requirement of ERCP or PTC due to its accuracy for evaluation of most biliary condition. (O’Connor) Magnetic resonance imaging has now been increasingly used in a wide variety of clinical application. Magnetic resonance imaging has

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

patients‚ as the patients are always concerned with the money required to use in the event where visitation to the hospital is inevitable. Cost-effectiveness in digital imaging comprises of direct and indirect effects (Sailer et al.‚ 2015). Hence‚ when accessing the cost-effectiveness‚ it is essential to understand that the imaging test must provide added value. Otero et al. (2008) state that the term cost-effectiveness is not just the amount paid for the examination‚ it also takes into consideration

the different imaging modalities used to detect and diagnose pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Radiography is a modality utilized when a patient presents with abdominal pain or back pain‚ two common symptoms of PDAC. Ultrasound (US) is the commonly used front line diagnostic tool to identify what is causing pain or jaundice‚ another common symptom of PDAC. Computed tomography (CT) is the most commonly used modality for diagnosing and staging due to its ability to provide cross-sectional imaging. Magnetic
