Imaging Departments at Karemore and St Patchups Hospitals

The imaging department provides a huge range of high-technology instruments used for diagnosis in order to help and assist the staff to understand what is happening to the patients, which means that without driving across the valley, patients can be diagnosed as quickly as possible.

For example, the imaging technology possessing a magnetic quality produces magnetic fields which are around ten thousand times more powerful than the magnetic fields of earth. It includes a tomography scan that produces a model base don three-dimensional image of your brain. The imaging department can identify a tumour in the brain, notify a spot on the organ or discovers any type of abnormality without touching the skin of the patient. (Johnson, 1999, 128-200)

The imaging department handles different types of services and activities. These activities include:

Ultrasound: It converts the echoes of high- frequency waves into images which help in diagnosing the problems. These images are known as sonogram, which provides a scenario of the cavities and tissues.

CT scan: By using a number of points and x-rays, it creates a three-dimensional picture of the organs of the body. This helps the physicians and doctors in revealing abnormal and normal structures in the body and it also helps them in clearly guiding the placement of treatments and instruments. MRI: It is also known as magnetic resonance imaging. It creates magnetic fields which affects in the alignment of atoms in the body. This alignment is then measured by using the radio waves possessed by a computer in the form of three-dimensional pictures of the internal body parts such as tissues, organs and even the nervous system of brain. (Johnson, 1999, 128-200)

Nuclear Medicine: These are introduced in the body in order to understand how the body reacts to them in order to identify the range, form and the presence of the abnormalities in the organ (Branas, 2010).

Diagnostic Imaging: Usually is referred to the use of technology like x-rays for producing pictures if organs, body parts and tissues to help the doctors in identifying the problems in the body and suggest solutions.

The Karemore Hospital Plan for Radiology

The incident was caused by a power surge between the Liverpool and Aldgate Underground town. The causalities were unknown. The causalities were received at around 09:40 am and the media reported it to be an accident caused by the power surge, seven bombs in the underground and hundreds of people died.

(Shaham, 2002, 440-560)

Over eighty plus patients were transferred to Karemore hospital. Eight patients were provided treatment in the recovery room between 10:00 am-12:40 pm. The hospital conducted fourteen chest radiographies, three pelvis radiographies, 2 full spinal ...
