Nuclear physics has led to several important medical applications of diagnostic imaging and cancer treatment. Computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT) scans use X-rays to produce cross-sectional images of the body with high resolution. Positron emission tomography (PET) scans use radioactive tracers injected into the body to detect metabolic activity and locate tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of soft tissues without using ionizing radiation. Radiation therapies like gamma knife radiosurgery, linear accelerators, and proton therapy also apply principles of nuclear physics to precisely target high doses of radiation to cancerous tumors.
- MRI uses strong magnets and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body without using ionizing radiation. It was developed from the 1930s discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance and research using it to study chemical compounds. The first MRI scanner that could image the whole human body was built in the 1970s. Modern MRI is able to produce high quality images of soft tissues and organs throughout the body to assist in medical diagnosis. Precautions must be taken regarding any metal objects before undergoing an MRI scan.
The MRI scanner uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain without using radiation. It spins tiny atoms inside the body which send signals to antennas and computers to generate digital images. The process takes a few minutes per image set. Patients feel only vibration from the machine. MRI scanners use very powerful magnets from 0.3-3.0 Tesla, much stronger than Earth's field, to provide high-quality brain images without known health risks.
Versatile ultrasound system could transform how doctors use medical imagingApparao Mukkamala
This document summarizes a new optical ultrasound imaging system that could improve medical imaging. The system uses light rather than electronics to generate and receive ultrasound waves. It allows for real-time 2D tissue imaging at video rates. Unlike traditional ultrasound, it can be used simultaneously with MRI and offers flexibility to switch between imaging modes. This versatility could help doctors obtain more comprehensive pictures and guide medical procedures more efficiently.
The document provides an overview of radiosurgery, including its history, how radiation works, types of radiosurgery systems available, and targets for treatment. It discusses stereotactic radiosurgery using gamma knives or linear accelerators to precisely deliver high doses of radiation in a single session. Key systems discussed include Gamma Knife, proton therapy, and linear accelerator-based platforms like Trilogy and CyberKnife. Common targets are brain metastases, AVMs, acoustic neuromas, and certain tumors.
The document discusses nanotechnology and how it allows working at the nanoscale level. It describes how nanotechnology could be used in areas like cosmetics, dentistry, medicine, vehicles, and computers. It also discusses potential risks of nanotechnology like health risks and environmental risks due to the small scale and lack of knowledge. The document advocates for using both empirical scientific research along with philosophy to forecast and evaluate implications of nanotechnology through informed imagination.

Radiography, also known as X-ray imaging, is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to produce images of the internal structures of the body. It has various applications in diagnostic imaging and therapeutic procedures. Some key applications discussed in the document are mammography, which uses low-dose X-rays to screen and detect breast cancer, and fluoroscopy, which produces a continuous X-ray image on a monitor. The document provides historical context on the discovery of X-rays and development of various radiography techniques over time.
Radiography, also known as X-ray imaging, is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to produce images of the internal structures of the body. It has a variety of medical uses including diagnostic imaging to detect fractures or tumors, as well as therapeutic applications in areas like radiation therapy for cancer treatment. Key developments in radiography over time include the introduction of digital X-ray systems and newer modalities like computed tomography (CT), which can generate cross-sectional slices of the body, and mammography for breast imaging.
The document summarizes various medical imaging machines including CT scans, PET scans, MRI scans, DSR scans, and sonograms. CT scans use X-rays and computers to produce cross-sectional images of the body. PET scans use radioactive tracers to detect cancer and other diseases.

Siemens acquired Varian Medical Systems for $16.4 billion, making Siemens the company with the most comprehensive cancer care portfolio as Varian dominates the radiation therapy segment; while this is the largest healthcare acquisition of the year, Varian did report a third-quarter revenue decline of 16% due to COVID-19, but Siemens returns to the radiation therapy delivery systems market with this purchase.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

1. 50 Years of MRI
By: Vikki Harmonay www.atlantisworldwide.com
2. Fifty years ago, Paul Lauterbur published his groundbreaking Nature paper which established
zeugmatography—or magnetic resonance imaging/MRI—as a viable way to50 years MRI use
magnetic field and radiofrequency signals to visualize objects. Lauterbur ‘s first human MRI scanner is
located in the Illinois MRI Exhibit at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. He
was recruited to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the 1980s. He won the 2003 Nobel
Prize in Physiology of Medicine for developing MRI with Sir Peter Mansfield, a British physicist.

3. Since that time, MRI has become an essential tool for doctors to view inside the body and see soft
tissue like the heart, brain and other muscles and organs. MRI images help doctors understand what
is happening in disease. MRI lets you view the status of tissue, observe shapes, blood flow,
inflammation and even the changing shape of soft tissue. Because MRUI enables doctors to look
inside the body quickly and clearly, advanced treatments have been developed which has led to
longer, healthier lives.
www.atlantisworldwide.com
4. MRI is a flexible imaging technique, and MRI scanners have continued to improve over the years. The
unit of measure for magnetic field strength is Teslas. The earth’s magnetic field is approximately
0.00005 Tesla. Lauterbur’s first human MRI magnet was 0.09 Teslas. That’s about 2,000 times the
Earth’s magnetic field. He was able to see structures in the body, but the resolutions were grainy and
at low resolutions.
www.atlantisworldwide.com
5. Today’s MRI systems are 1.5T, 3T, but recently an MRI magnet that’s 7 Tesla was purchased by the
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Carle Hospital. It’s 75 times stronger than Lauterbur’s
original magnet and allows us to localize function in the brain down to 0.5 millimeters with clarity
and excellent contrast.
MRI imaging continues to evolve and improve, thanks to higher magnetic field which provide even
higher spatial resolution images of the brain and body. New MRI systems that are small and portable
are now available. Who knows what MRI imaging will accomplish in the years to come?
www.atlantisworldwide.com
6. Over 40 million MRIs were performed in the U.S. last year, and no doubt its use will continue to grow. If
you’re in need of a new MRI scanner, talk to the experts at Atlantis Worldwide. A used or refurbished MRI
system could provide you with the performance you need, at a much lower price point—and still deliver a
beefy service warranty.
