Case Study #1: Green Valley Medical 1-Green Valley Medical Center is a nonprofit teaching hospital affiliated with a large state university and had grown since its foundation in the 1930s with continuous support from state revenues. Since it is a nonprofit organization its main goal is not to create profit for the investors‚ but to reach their institutional goals‚ which in this case is to offer good service for the region it is located in and to train the students that attend to the state university

Relevance to biology (PET Scan) Today‚ most PET scans are performed on instruments that are combined PET and CT scanners. The combined PET/CT scans provide images that pinpoint the location of abnormal metabolic activity within the body. The combined scans have been shown to provide more accurate diagnoses than the two scans performed separately. Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging. It uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and determine the severity of various types

Use of Fluorine 18 in Nuclear Medicine Fluorine 18 is a positron emitter with a half life of 109.77 minutes. It is used in PET scans. Decay mode: 9F18 ( 8O18 + +1e0 (1.656 MeV). Oxygen 18 is stable. The positron travels only a few millimetres in the human body before it meets an electron‚ when both are annihilated producing two gamma ray photons. The energy of each gamma ray photon is 511 MeV‚ the rest mass of the electron‚ so presumably the positron looses some energy prior to annihilation

2.2.1.6 Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) is one of several techniques available in analytical atomic spectroscopy. ICP-AES utilizes plasma as the atomization and excitation source. Plasma is an electrically neutral‚ highly ionized gas that consists of ions‚ electrons‚ and atoms. Most analytical plasmas operate with pure argon or helium‚ which makes combustion impossible. Plasmas are characterized by their temperature

Discuss the use of technology in investigating one cognitive process-Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative brain disorder that results in memory loss‚ impaired thinking and personality change. No blood test‚ brain scan‚ physical exam can definitely diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. PET scan detect radioactively tagged glucose that are injected into a patient’s body before the imaging. Glucose enters through blood stream and brain. The most active brain areas
