Closed MRI systems are being considered safer as they pose lower risk of harmful radiation escape than open MRI system

 

Closed MRI system


  The invention of the MRI system has influenced the study of various internal organs and the detection of diseases for physicians. MRI systems help doctors to detect and identify brain illnesses, serious spinal and musculoskeletal problems, cancer, and other conditions that are hard to diagnose in their early stages. It also helps to evaluate the integrity of the human body and monitor specific medical conditions.

  MRI systems come in two types; closed MRI systems and open MRI systems. Closed MRI systems are used for degenerating an imaging image of a specific organ or body part without allowing that part of the body to be viewed by the patient. There are several different types of closed MRI systems. One of them is a single bore scanner system that contains a single magnetic field, which is used to find the location of the abnormality. Another type is a multimodal bore scanner that contains two magnetic fields that work together in order to locate the problematic area. It is a topic of debate that closed MRI systems offer a higher level of safety compared to open MRI systems, as there is no room for any radiation to escape harming the patient.  

  However, MRI magnets create robust electromagnetic fields without needing high-power radiation sources, which reduces the possibility of escape of such radiations. Closed MRI systems allow better monitoring of the procedure and provide more time for questions or concerns, as they provide detailed images with better quality. Many systems come with a video monitor that can be accessed any time during the procedure.

  For example, during a head and neck scan, if the patient needs assistance, they can watch the video feed and ask questions if necessary. The scan can be monitored much more carefully, as it offers direct communication between the scanner and the patient, which helps to ensure that the procedure is as comfortable and accurate as possible. Recently, in November 2020, Siemens launched its smallest and most lightweight whole-body MRI system.

Total Disc Replacement complete details Of Competitive Landscape Executive Summary Development in next decade

Image
    Total disc replacement is a type of back/spine surgery in which an artificial replacement device is used to replace a damaged or degenerated disc in the lumbar or cervical region. A disc replacement, also known as an artificial disc, is a device implanted in the spine that performs the same function as a normal disc in the human body. A total disc replacement , as the name implies, is a procedure that involves the complete or partial exclusion of the disc tissue in order to implant a replacement device into the space between the vertebrae. The prostheses help to maintain spinal curvature and flexibility while reducing or possibly eliminating pain.   Cervical total disc replacement (CTDR) surgery is used to treat patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). The most common cause of DDD in the cervical region of the spine is neck pain. For the treatment of DDD, a cervical disc replacement procedure is performed in which the degenerated disc is surgically removed and an artificial

Dengue Vaccines development and progress towards vaccine has increased over the past few years

Image
    Dengue fever is a tropical disease spread by mosquitos that are caused by the dengue virus. 3 to 14 days after infection, symptoms appear. A high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle, and joint pains, and a distinct skin rash are all potential symptoms. In most cases, recovery takes two to seven days. In a small percentage of cases, the disease progresses to dengue hemorrhagic fever, which causes bleeding, low levels of blood platelets, and blood plasma leakage, or to dengue shock syndrome, which causes dangerously low blood pressure.   Dengue is spread by several Aides genus female mosquitoes, most notably Aides. The virus has five serotypes; infection with one type usually results in lifelong immunity to that type but only temporary immunity to the others. Subsequent infection with a different type raises the possibility of severe complications. . Dengue vaccines are a vaccine used to protect humans from dengue fever to confirm the diagnosis, a number of tests are available, includ

Non-Contact Torque Sensors Increase Fuel Economy, Improve Ride Comfort and Safety

Torque Sensors     In order to determine the most suitable torque sensor, it is necessary to understand the application and environment. Some applications may require underwater sensors, while others may only need a torque sensor. The type of mounting and assembly is also important. Some are mounted flange-to-flange, while others are mounted shaft-to-shaft. The torque sensors must be able to detect the rotational force in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.   The most common design for a torque sensor uses bonded strain gauge technology. The strain gauges are bonded to a shaft with a 45-degree inclination. The application will determine the type of cross-section and materials used for the shaft. Depending on the application, a cruciform, square, or a circular cross-section is appropriate. Some torque sensors are made from a combination of these materials.   When selecting a torque sensor, make sure to consider its physical and environmental requirements. The temperature, hu
