  1. Radiography

  2. What are some ways we can see inside of something?

  3. X-Ray Imaging • Electromagnetic radiation between Ultraviolet and Gamma rays • Produced by accelerated electrons colliding with tungsten anode and projected at body part • Calcium in bones and added contrasts of barium or iodine absorb x-rays • Image receptor digital films reads black where x-rays penetrated through body

  4. MRI • Machine creates a magnetic field that aligns the magnetization of some atoms in the body and radio frequency fields further alter the alignment. Nuclei produce rotation magnetic field, which is detected by the scanner • Primarily used to examine soft tissue in body, brain, muscles, heart and cancers • No ionizing radiation

  5. Ultrasound • Cyclic sound pressure with frequency greater than 20,000 hertz • Transducer sends and receives sound signals in medium • Used by bats for hunting • Medical sonography used for soft tissue diagnosis, fetuses, interventional procedures

  6. CT Scan • X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) • Tomography-means imaging by sections from penetrating wave • X-ray source rotates helically about patient or specimen to create 3D image from sectioning • Useful for preventative medicine

  7. PET Scan • Positron Emission Tomography • Positron - antielectron (positive electron) • System uses a tracer (positron-emitting radionuclide) to detect gamma rays emitted by the collision of these positrons with electrons • Fludeoxyglucose (sugar) is commonly used as tracer

  8. Attenuate Means to reduce or weaken The higher the attenuation coefficient the greater the ability of the material to reduce or weaken the radiation beam This can be done by scattering, absorption What attenuates x-rays during medical procedures?

  9. (0.025 eV)

  10. Compare Different Materials Cadmium ( Cd ) Lead ( Pb ) Plastic ( (CH3)n)

  11. Which will block the radiation? Yes Yes Yes No No Yes

  12. Neutron Imaging System Video output Gamma rays (photons) electrons neutrons Reactor D2O Tank Phosphorescent screen (similar to the one in your TV) converts electrons to visible light. Scintillation material (GdO2S)converts neutrons into gamma rays through neutron capture reactions Photocathode coverts photons to electrons through photoelectric effect Neutron Imaging System “3.5 hours slide” courtesy of Danielle Hauck.5/17/2004- rev. 9/29/04 CCD
