Archimedes had to protect his city from the Romans‚ and Carthage. These studies came into play often. At his time‚ he invented a lot of objects. He created a perfect sphere and almost found the approximate value of pi (π) which is in the Greek alphabet. He made a death heat ray‚ which used sunlight to burn ships‚ and used a grabber

irradiation which is the method of treating food in order to make it safer to eat and have a longer shelf life. The important part of food irradiation is by exposing it to the gamma rays of a radioisotope cobalt-60 the energy from the gamma ray passing through the food to destroy many disease-causing bacteria. The gamma ray stops the bacteria that causes food to spoil‚ but is not strong enough to change the quality‚ flavor or texture of the food. Lastly doctors practice this new thing called nuclear

MRI Background info Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) otherwise known as Magnetic resonance tomography (1) is a scan that uses a magnetic field‚ radio wave‚ and computer‚ to produce an image of an individual internal structure (Anatomy) (2). The body contains more than 50% of water. MRI uses super strong Magnetic field to align hydrogen nuclei or protons found in water (H2O) all over the body (1‚3‚ &‚ 4). When a person is placed into the scanning machine hydrogen nuclei or protons align

Nuclear Medicine Nuclear medicine has been around for more than 50 years now and stems from the discovery of x-rays and artificial radioactivity. In 1946‚ nuclear medicine made a monumental breakthrough when radioactive iodine led to the complete disappearance of cancer in a patient’s thyroid. Nuclear medicine became widely used in the 1950’s to measure the function of the thyroid‚ to diagnose thyroid disease‚ and for the treatment of patients with hyperthyroidism. By the 1970’s nuclear medicine
