In radiology and nuclear medicine, single - photon emission therapy (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanning is now a standard practice.

<h3>What distinguishes a CT scan from a PET scan?</h3>

The internal organs and tissues of your body are depicted in great detail by a CT scan. A Pet / ct can be more accurate than some other imaging procedures and can detect aberrant activity. Additionally, it can cause your body to alter sooner. PET-CT scans are used by doctors to reveal more details about the cancer.

<h3>What distinguishes an MRI from a PET scan?</h3>

Radio waves and magnets are both used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. Both generate static photos of the body's organs and skeletal system. Using a radioactive tracer, PET scans can demonstrate how an organ is working in real time. CT and MRI scans cannot identify cellular responses in tissues and organs as early as PET scan images can.

Assisting in Pulmonary and Cardiology Medicine and Performing EKGs: Professionalism Assignment
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sooo I'm literally in high school but I wanna be a doctor so I'm gonna see if I can answer this with some course of knowledge. So I'm assuming that since hes a male medical <u>assistant,</u> and the girl is 18, he is allowed to preform an EKG? I also know that if he has proper training he can preform an EKG. It seems kinda weird that no other staff attendees were in the exam room, and how she was instructed to remove her clothing and was obviously not comfortable. He should have asked the girl if she wanted someone else in the room with her, such as a female medical assistant or even just another female. I think he should have also given her something to drape over herself, once the pads were in place. Maybe since she didn't have a drape over her she became cold, and anxious. That's all I can really answer:)

A Typical Human Body Contains About 3.0 Grams Of Potassium Per Kilogram Of Body Mass. 1. ... 1. How much Potassium-40 is present
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Given

Per Kg of body mass, there is 3 gram of potassium

And abundance of three isotopes are as follows

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Have abundances respectively as 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%.

1) A body weighing 80 Kg will have 240 grams of potassium. And the amount of Potassium-40 will be 0.012% of 240 gram

= 240*0.012/100 = 0.0288 gram.

2) Dose in (Gy) = (energy absorbed)/(mass of the body) = ( 1.1*106*1.6*10-19)/(80) = 22*10-10 J/kg

Dose (in siverts) = RBE*Dose(in Gy) = 1.2*22*10-10 = 26.4*10-10
