Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a German physics professor, discovered the X-ray spectrum in 1865. This essential discovery led to the study of a new section of physics, and was adapted into the X-ray machine. The X-ray machine worked by sending a beam of electrons through an object - and then the density of the object could be read as an image on metal film. The adaptation of the X-ray for medical usage allowed doctors to picture and diagnose new conditions in a less invasive and more precise way. For example, physicians could use X-ray technology to image a radial bone to investigate a possible fracture.…
Did Sir lancelot's deserve to be on of the knights of the round table? The answer is yes he did. He was a gentleman and never only served the high but even the lowly. Lancelot was the son of King Ban of Benwick (benoic) and Queen Elaine. He was baptized as Galahad, but sooner changed to lancelot.…
In 1896 Roentgen presented the idea of the x-ray. Only a few months later, systems were already being designed to use the x-ray for diagnosis. Within 3 years, the radiation was being used in cancer treatment. A single idea for treatment grew in a short period of time, with the help of technology. Today we are seeing scientific advances like never before.…
Forensic Anthropology Bone Scans How do bone scans help forensic anthropologist figure out how people died? There are many different bone scans that can help them look at different fractures in the bones. The bone scans can help figure out if the deceased was abused,or brought around drugs. Some types of scans that look at bones are the Skeletal Scintigraphy, Dexa Scan, and a Bone Scan. All of these bone scans are used in different ways to help figure out how people died.…

The development of the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Image) machine has changed the medical world for the better. One of the first points about the MRI is that it was created by Professor Raymond Damadian in 1977. The first time the MRI machine was used, it took a total of five hours to do the whole scan. Also, the first MRI machine ever used is now in the Smithsonian Institute, and was nicknamed the “Indomitable.” Many people think they know what an MRI machine does, but most of the time they are wrong.…
Radioactivity has had a great impact on the medical field especially with x-rays. Marie Curie was one of the main researchers on the radioactivity used for these. Not only did she study and research the material, but she also saved millions of people during World War 1. (Funk & Wagnalls) Marie Curie’s passion for science and physics was and is, as illuminating as the glow from the element radium she is known for discovering. She has left a magnificent imprint on the world of science and medical advancement in several ways, through determination, passion, and wisdom.…
Paget’s Disease Paget’s disease is the breakdown of bone in an abnormal fashion, which then leads to bone forming abnormally. Bones naturally break down and new tissue is formed, this is called renewal. The disease disrupts the renewal process, and creates abnormalities. The abnormalities usually include enlargement and weakening of bones.…
Summary: This article provides information of the history behind the first ultrasound. It talks about the different physicians and their time of studies. Ultrasounds were first done by making two-dimensional images with a radio and Air Force radar parts, which made a pulse-echo ultrasonic scanner. This article describes the different ultrasound machines and how they were made. Pediatric patients were able to have ultrasounds in 1970.…
For several months, I have had my observation of the radiologic technology at Park Avenue Radiologist. Everything I know about this technology is basic and general – an imaging diagnosis of individual’s health issues. Specifically, the radiological technology is used to produce medical images commonly referred to as X-rays of internal body structures and organs such as lungs. For the image to be produced a tightly controlled amount of radiation is passed through the body and the results captured by a device.…
Project life For my future career I want to be a radiologist. In this paper I will give information about radiologist. In this paper most of your questions about radiology will be answered hopefully. What is a radiologist?…
Radiology has many great modalities in which assists the medical field diagnoses, find out the severity of ailments, as well as use surgery to correct issues that may be present in a patient’s body. It is simply amazing that without Fluoroscopy, Mammography, and Interventional Radiology a healthy life by some patients would not be obtainable. Each of the three modalities assists medical staff every day in different ways to save lives. Fluoroscopic Radiology, also known as real time imaging, (Bushong pg.637)is when x-rays flow continuously to helps doctors to see the function of the body while in motion. .…
Risks and Benefits of Diagnostic X-rays General Purpose: To inform. Specific Purpose: After hearing my speech, my audience will know more about the risks and benefits associated with diagnostic x-rays. Thesis: Medical benefits of diagnostic x-rays outweigh any slight risks. Introduction…
X-rays can be used for many purposes like safety or even as a separation technique, but it is mostly known as a way for doctors or dentists to inspect a human body without having to undergo surgery. A few medical examples of the uses of x-rays can be finding broken bones, cracks in your teeth and other abnormalities (bullets, blood clots, cancer, tumors, swallowed items, infections, kidney stones, etc) in the body without having to go through surgery. It is typical for the human body to break a bone or to catch some unwanted disease and x-rays does the job in finding them out. X-rays are typically known to have the second most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, but nowadays, the wavelengths and energy of an x-ray can be adjusted by the x-ray machine.…
