Innovation Through The Years Where would society be without progress? Think about life without out the simplest necessities of the 21st century. No Wi-Fi. No innovative cancer leading research labs and technology. No 3D technology or printers. Innovations and innovative thinking are two major driving impetuses of progress. Innovation can best be described as “something new that creates new opportunities for growth and development”(“A World Transformed” 1). There are many opportunities for progress

The night of June 12, 2000 two bombs exploded on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The first came from a suicide bomber inside a hotel. The second, a more powerful car bomb concealed inside a white Mitsubishi van. The morning of June 13, 2000, I heard on the radio there had been an explosion with an unknown number of victims and deceased. Over the course of the day, pictures and videos of the aftermath emerged showing the horrific extent of the damage. On June 14, I flew to Sumatra along with fellow

place test results, radiology images, vital mark, personal numeral number similar age and weight, and billing message. Methodology used behind this is to take the dissimilar images from dissimilar medical Equipment like EEG, ECG, Dental, CT Scan, X-ray machine as input images for the processing & storing into the database. The image product data format of these machines is distinct in data format. OSCAR EMR system takes these images as input & translate it into the proper JPEG or PNG format. Converted

Imaging of musculoskeletal disorders began in the early 1900’s with the invention and utilization of radiography and fluoroscopic equipment (McKinnis, 2014). Evolutions in imaging now allow for clearer digital recorded images of fluoroscopy, radiographs, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (McKinnis, 2014). From the beginning, imaging has not been an isolated or sole diagnostic tool. The clinician’s expertise in the evaluation process, the comprehensive evaluation and assessment

Ionizing Radiation Increases the Risk of Cancer On November 8, 1895, a German physics professor named Wilhelm Roentgen discovered x-rays. This advance in technology helped man explore the unknown of the human body without performing surgery. Only the microscope could compete with x-rays in the “contribution to medical vision” (Gunderman 2). After the discovery of x-rays, researchers found that there were therapeutic and also cancerous results from radiation emissions. Before this discovery became

barium platinocyanide and a photographic screen to illuminate his newly found rays. Perplexed by his discovery, the physicist used the screen to conclude that the rays would pass through many objects. His development influenced the study of nuclear science in many ways; now known as the X-Ray. The X-Ray offered new techniques for observing broken bones and other medical phenomena in the early twentieth century. Roentgen’s X-Ray discovery offered doctors and medical practitioners with a new method for

CT This week I rotated through CT. CT is computed tomography. CT uses special x-ray machines to show detailed images of the body planes. This machine splits the body into axial, sagittal, and coronal images on one scan. Some CT scans are done with contrast and some are done without contrast. Contrast in used to highlight the vessels in the body so they will show up bright on the image. The contrast is injected through an IV that is inserted by either a tech or a nurse. Most scans were done on the

Throughout the course of my life I have always been an athletic kid, I played various sports like tennis, swimming, boxing soccer and ballet. Out of these sports, which are all unique and amazing, I've always been the most passionate for soccer. My parents saw my love for soccer and decided to take me out of all my other sports and allow me to focus on one; with their dedication as well as mine, I have become the player I am today. I have played soccer since I was about 5 years old until now, present

between high X-ray wild type and low X-ray tan type (see Table 4-b). It appears that there is a higher cross-over frequency when one strain is applied more radiation than the other than when both strains are applied high radiation. It seems that higher radiation on one or both strains doesn’t necessarily yield a higher cross-over frequency, suggesting there is no definite linear trend. There are several explanations for this occurrence. Thomas and Roberts conducted an experiment in which X-ray radiation
