In the following report, my colleague and I have discussed the topic of tomography and its application in the form of MRI’s. Now, you may ask what is tomography or what is an MRI? Well tomography is the imaging of an object via sections that are cut up by any kind of penetrating waves, and it truly brings together mathematics with biology and technology. The example of tomography that we will be discussing are MRI’s. Now MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging, which is a noninvasive diagnostic

Magnetic resonance imaging, aka MRI, is a scanning technique to produce detailed 3 dimensional anatomical images of the human body in any direction by using a magnetic field and radio waves. The pictures provide information that can be useful in diagnosing a wide variety of diseases and conditions. Radio waves cause the molecules to create faint signals that are used to view the body in narrow, axial slices. How does MRI Work? An MRI scanner has a large magnet with a tube shaped tunnel through

passive-aggressive techniques. Scenario 1 The nurse in the scenario is displaying a very aggressive attitude. The assistant becomes quiet and has some passive-aggressive ideas for retaliation. While being a charge nurse, I had to delegate a task to radiology technologists. They became very defensive and questioned the authority. At this point, I became aggressive, and stopped all communication. If I could do it again, I should have remained calm and explained the reasoning behind the tasks. I could have

Capital project Capital project section two Executive summary There is an overuse of the hospital MRI machine at the facility. The MRI machine needs to be utilized for multiple specialties including emergencies, inpatients, gamma knife, orthopedics, sports medicine. The ultimate recommendation is to add an extremity MRI scanner to the facility to relieve some of the usage of the main MRI machine. Providing this relief benefits in many aspects. The addition will provide an opportunity to expand

While the role of ultrasound in adult medicine continues to diminish in an era of faster and better MRI machines, its role in pediatric medicine continues to rise. The ability to image children without sedation, lack of radiation, higher resolution, better contrast and lower cost all contribute to the utility of this modality. With reimbursement changes, the pressure to utilize and maximize sonography will increase as insurance carriers and hospitals start sharing the cost of expensive modalities
