Hello, students of the seniors' class!
This week we continue our exploration of the nervous system by learning about a few diagnostic imaging tools available to our doctors.
We learned about nuclear medicine and about the type and amount of radioactive material used in diagnosing and in treating diseases such as cancer. Here is the very interesting document we looked at in order to better understand the safety and use of radiation in nuclear medicine.
Here are some charts and tables to inform you about radiation exposure in various Canadian cities compared with other parts of the world. It also tells you how much exposure you get from some common sources such as dental x-rays.
This is a fantastic interactive tour of the brain. It is also available in Chinese and Arabic.
