PS1030 Essay – Psychology – Rachelle Petho Describe three brain-imaging techniques and explain what the literature tells us about the function and structure of the brain. This essay is going to describe three different types of brain-imaging techniques. It will also explain what the literature tells us about the function and the structure of the brain. The three types of brain-imaging techniques that will be clearly described are; CT (computed tomography)‚ PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and MRI

Describe and evaluate methods of investigating cortical specialisation. (10 marks) There are many different methods of cortical specialisation and these are: MRI scan‚ PET scan‚ Electroencephalogram‚ Post Mortem and Neurosurgery. These are developed methods of studying cortical specialisation in the brain in order to be able to predict‚ control and explain non –human and human behaviour. Neurosurgery is considered to be an invasive way of investigating cortical specialisation as it involves manipulating

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

Since Radiology is my field of choice‚ I am going to talk about the code of ethics for Radiology and why I feel Radiology is the career for me. As a Radiologic Technician you interact with the daily general public on a daily basis. Radiologic Technicians are given a set of rules that they must follow to help provide the best quality care for their patients. I believe that the three main rules are how you assist your patients‚ how you treat your patients‚ and how to provide the best quality care.

In the current study the eye globes (Figure 1a) were removed from the human cadavers and employed for further experimental measurements. After removing the eyes from the cadavers‚ a set of MRI/CT images were taken according to the purpose we had to have a clear image of eye components and its dimensions. The images were then used to make a FE model of the eye based on the MRI/CT data as presented in Figure 1b. Thereafter‚ in order to have a smoother FE model to be able to mesh its components‚ the

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technology that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create graphic images of the body’s anatomical and internal structures (1). MRI relies primarily on the protons in fat and water molecules of the body‚ as these protons respond to the static magnetic field created in ways that allows for a high quality image to be generated (2). These images contrasts specific tissue and different anatomical structures. For example‚ MRI can reveal

History and Science Behind MRI: Open or Closed Case? Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been called one of the most comprehensive and efficacious diagnostic imaging modalities in medical history. It became a viable clinical technique in 1982 and during its relatively short lifetime has become the primary imaging modality for investigations of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ spine‚ cancellous bone‚ and joints. It is widely used for the identification and staging of tumors‚ investigations of large

I became interested in Radiography during my studies as a dental nurse. On a daily basis I saw a lot of intro oral x-rays taken during the treatment course on various patients. I saw the importance of being able to see various abnormalities and tissues before‚ during and after any procedure. I am interested in radiography because it involves both individual patient care and also sophisticated equipment. I also like the various departments where radiographers can use their skills from ante-natal
