Unlike a CT scan, MRI does not use x-rays. Instead, it uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce very clear and detailed computerized images of the inside of the body. MRI is commonly used to examine the brain, spine, joints, abdomen, and pelvis. A special kind of MRI exam, called magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), examines the blood vessels. Nikola Tesla discovered the Rotating Magnetic Field in 1882 in Budapest, Hungary.
Duties and Responsibilities for being an ultrasound technician are very interesting but also demanding. For example, preparing patients for procedures by taking a patients history and answering any questions about the procedure. Record findings and also keep track of patient’s records. Also have to apply a gel to aid the sound waves’ ability to show the inside of the body. Recognizing the difference between normal and abnormal Images.

The conditions of a phlebotomist are that the phlebotomists should note the patient's condition, whether the patient is fasting, on medications or has dietary restrictions. Phlebotomists should also check if the patient has allergies to antiseptics or adhesives that are used when drawing blood. The phlebotomist should apply a tourniquet 3 to 4 inches above the puncture site and should not leave it on for more than 2 minutes. The phlebotomist should rub alcohol on the site to disinfect it; the alcohol should air dry. After inserting the needle at a 15 to 30 degree angle, the phlebotomist draws the blood.
It is very important to remember that hearing and vision loss is normal with aging and that when we perform our assessments we should talk slowly and annunciate clearly so the patient can understand any direction or education that is given (GCU, 2012). While observing the skin, it is most important to check for skin break down and this is most often seen with patients in long term care facilities or in the hospital setting but can be seen in the outpatient side, most likely a patient that does not ambulate very much or is wheelchair bound. Poor wound healing or
INCORRECT These instructions apply to a client undergoing ambulatory ECG, or Holter monitoring. The client wears a portable ECG monitor continuously while going about normal daily activities to evaluate concurrent cardiac electrical activity. D) It is important to return to the exam table immediately after exercising. CORRECT This is important so the echocardiogram can be performed while the heart is still stressed from the exercise on the treadmill. Acute Myocardial Infarction
Since the patient will not feel any pain in his hand, he may deny treatment and a serious injury may result. Always remove the suggestions after the hypnotic session. Summary In Chapter 14, you learned some of the theory behind hypnosis. You were given some examples how this theory is applied in clinical situations. You will learn more theory by reading the books listed in the bibliography.
Electromagnetic Waves in Technology Electromagnetic waves are very present in today’s society and play an important aspect in our technology. They come in many different wavelengths; there are radio, X-rays, microwave, ultraviolet, infrared, visible rays and gamma rays. One of the technologies used in medicine that requires electromagnetic waves are X-Rays. It was invented in 1895, apparently completely by accident, by a German physicist named Wilhelm Röetgen. He was experimenting with electron beams in a gas discharge tube when he noticed that a fluorescent screen in his lab began to glow when the electron beam was turned on.
Muscles and joints can be affected from various ways including, work, sports and exercise to name a few. At some point, pain is something that every one feels and is affected by. Most times a person will visit a doctor or a physician, not realizing a massage therapist can reduce pain and treat muscles in a medical way. As written in “The effect of massage on pain in cancer patients” pain level is reduced just after ten minutes of massage. (Weinrich,Weinrich) It seems that this could be called the “time of the pill”, as everything can be fixed by taking medicine.
Magnetic Field Therapy: It is a procedure where magnetic field penetrates the human body and reacts and treats the target organ. If used properly, there is hardly any harmful side effect. It treats both physical pain and emotional stress, relieves symptoms and retards the cycle of new disease. The earth is surrounded by magnetic fields produced by itself, by weather, and by electrical devices. Even a human body produces a delicate magnetic field produced by chemical reaction within cells that generates the ionic currents of the nervous system.
