Computed Tomography‚ also known as computed axial tomography‚ or CAT scan‚ medical technology that uses X rays and computers to produce three-dimensional images of the human body. Unlike traditional X rays‚ which highlight dense body parts‚ such as bones‚ CT provides detailed views of the body’s soft tissues‚ including blood vessels‚ muscle tissue‚ and organs‚ such as the brain. While conventional X rays provide flat two-dimensional images‚ CT images depict a cross-section of the body. A patient

Gadolinium is a paramagnetic metal icon. These paramagnetic icons move differently within a magnetic field in which these make the gadolinium useful for something more familiar in today’s medicine such as MRI. Gadolinium helped doctors and medical professionals to be able to see a patient’s internal organs‚ inflammation‚ tumors‚ blood vessels‚ and tissue. The quality of MRI’s are enhanced by altering the magnetic properties of water molecules when gadolinium is used. Gadolinium used by itself is

Raad Almandil Professor L. Lykins ENGL 111-57C Due Date: 2/21/2013 Radiologists Radiology is connected to virtually all areas of medicine. Many people often enter the field of radiology because they have different sorts of interest in the job. The field of radiology was originally oriented on using X-ray radiation imagining of the body. Current radiology is not limited to X-rays; it also uses magnetic field‚ radiation and sound waves. Radiology can be used both for diagnostic
