Given that the first stage of a seizure is strongly altered perception of sensory information, it seems to follow that the sensory area is affected first. In fact, epilepsy is strongly associated with sensory (and motor discussed next) cortex, which lies just behind the central fissure on each side of the brain. Posttraumatic epilepsy, a common complication of severe head injuries, may be the result of scar tissue formation near the sensory cortex. The abnormal firing spreads from the sensory area to an area for motor control. The second stage of a seizure is ictus and is characterized by convulsions.

Diagnostic Medical Sonography Billy Parese 3/10/11 Sonography, or ultrasonography, uses sound waves to generate images for the assessment and diagnosis of a medical condition. Sonographers operate special equipment to direct high frequency sound waves into a certain area of the patient’s body. This equipment can collect reflected echoes and form an image that may be videotaped, transmitted, or photographed for interpretation and diagnosis by a physician. This report will contain areas of expertise for sonographers, positive and negative attributes in relation to sonography, and future employment. Sonographers begin by explaining the procedure to the patient and recording any medical history that may be relevant to the condition being viewed.

Ancillary services are categorized into 3 categories; diagnostic, therapeutic and custodial. Please describe each one of these types of custodial service and answer the following questions. Diagnostic ancillary services are a broad range of tests that are an essential part of patient care, allowing physical to detect disease earlier, make diagnoses, prescribe therapies, and monitor the patient’s results. They generally provide in office or in support physician services at a hospital.
