We next sent him out for a bone scan. A 3-phase‚ radionuclide bone scan using technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate remains the criterion standard for detecting early heterotopic ossification. The examination consists of a radionuclide angiogram followed by a blood pool image over the suggestive site. A

Cobalt 60 Mode of decay: Beta particles and gamma radiation Chemical properties: Metallic solid that can become magnetically charged What is it used for? Co-60 is used medically for radiation therapy as implants and as an external source of radiation exposure. It is used industrially in leveling gauges and to x-ray welding seams and other structural elements to detect flaws. Co-60 also is used for food irradiation (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/ foodirradiation.htm)‚ a sterilization

Yafaa Chaudhary PHYSICS 5 NOTES Physics 5 3.5.1 Radioactivity Evidence for the nucleus Qualitative study for the Rutherford scattering. Rutherford directed a narrow beam of α-particles‚ all of the same kinetic energy‚ in an evacuated container at a thin gold film‚ in order to identify the structure of an atom: The α-particles need to be of the same kinetic energy otherwise slow α-particles would be deflected more than faster α-particles on the same initial path. The container needs to be evacuated

The Identification and Production of Materials 1. Fossil fuels provide both energy and raw materials such as ethylene‚ for the production of other substances. Students Learn To: .2 Identify the industrial source of ethylene from the cracking of some of the fractions from the refining of petroleum. • Ethylene is produced either from natural gas or crude oil‚ which are mixtures of hydrocarbons. One method involves… Cracking: a process by which hydrocarbons with higher molecular

Wea`am Mohammad Al-jarie Dr. mokhleed zaza physics Medical applications of x-ray Introduction: X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers‚ corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (3×1016 Hz to 3×1019 Hz) X-rays up to about 10 keV (10 to 0.10 nm wavelength) are classified as "soft" X-rays‚ and from about 10 to 120 keV (0.10 to 0.01 nm wavelength) as "hard" X-rays‚ due

APPENDICITIS Reporter: Rita May C. Reyna APPENDIX The appendix is a normal true diverticulum of the cecum. Like any diverticulum‚ it is prone to acute and chronic inflammation‚ and acute appendicitis is a relatively common entity. Other lesions‚ including tumors‚ can also occur in the appendix but are far less common. The appendix is a wormlike extension of the cecum and‚ for this reason‚ has been called the vermiform appendix. The average length of the appendix is 8-10 cm (ranging from 2-20

Radioactive Isotopes An isotope is one of two or more atoms with the same number of protons‚ and position in the periodic table‚ but different number of neutrons and physical properties. Isotopes have an unstable nucleus that decay suddenly by a release of nuclear electrons and radiation. This essay will be discussing one of the applications and uses of the radioactive isotopes‚ and it will also state one problem that radioactive isotopes can address. The radiation characteristically
