PDF-(EBOOK)-Naked to the Bone: Medical Imaging in the Twentieth Century (Sloan Technology

Xrays fluoroscopy ultrasound CT MRI and PET scansmedical imaging has become a familiar part of modern health care today A century ago however the idea of looking inside the living body seemed absurd Wilhelm Roentgens Xray image of his wifes shadowy handwith her wedding band floating around a white boneconvinced doctors to rush the new tool into use for diagnosis and treatmentBy the 1920s the technology was a commonplace wonder army recruits had routinely lined up for chest Xrays during World War I and children delighted in seeing the bones of their feet in the green glow of shoestore fluoroscopes By the late 1960s the computer and television were linked to produce medical images that were as startling as Roentgens original Xrays Computerized tomography CT and magnetic resonance imaging MR made it possible to picture soft tissues invisible to ordinary Xrays Ultrasound allowed expectant parents to see their unborn children Positron emission tomography PET enabled neuroscientists to map the brainIn this lively history of medical imaging the first to cover the full scope of the field from Xrays to MRassistant surgery Bettyann Kevles explores the consequences of these developments for medicine and society Through lucid prose vivid anecdotes and more than seventy striking illustrations she shows how medical imaging has transformed the practice of medicinefrom pediatrics to dentistry neurosurgery to geriatrics gynecology to oncologyDespite their formidable power to reveal the inner secrets of the body no form of medical imaging can claim to be the product of a technological imperative As Kevles points out few of these costly inventions made it easily to the marketplace and all are vulnerable to the changing economics of the healthcare system In the early years of Xrays many doctors technicians and patients died from overexposure to the invisible radiation Although we may still find delayed repercussions from these newer technologies a different kind of danger may lie in our conviction that an early diagnosis is equivalent to a cureBeyond medicine Kevles describes how Xrays and the newer technologies have become part of the texture of modern life and culture They helped undermine Victorian sexual sensibilities gave courts new forensic tools provided plots for novels and movies and offered artists from Picasso to Warhol new ways to depict the human formNaked to the Bone offers readers an unparalled picture of a key technology of the twentieth century.

Questions to be addressed in this chapter. What shift occurred in twentieth century theology that was characteristic of the liberal Protestant movement?. What conservative theological developments occurred in the twentieth century?. Informatics in Medical Imaging provides a comprehensive survey of the field of medical imaging informatics. In addition to radiology, it also addresses other specialties such as pathology, cardiology, dermatology, and surgery, which have adopted the use of digital images. The book discusses basic imaging informatics protocols, picture archiving and communication systems, and the electronic medical record. It details key instrumentation and data mining technologies used in medical imaging informatics as well as practical operational issues, such as procurement, maintenance, teleradiology, and ethics.HighlightsIntroduces the basic ideas of imaging informatics, the terms used, and how data are represented and transmitted Emphasizes the fundamental communication paradigms: HL7, DICOM, and IHE Describes information systems that are typically used within imaging departments: orders and result systems, acquisition systems, reporting systems, archives, and information-display systems Outlines the principal components of modern computing, networks, and storage systems Covers the technology and principles of display and acquisition detectors, and rounds out with a discussion of other key computer technologies Discusses procurement and maintenance issues ethics and its relationship to government initiatives like HIPAA and constructs beyond radiologyThe technologies of medical imaging and radiation therapy are so complex and computer-driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists responsible for their clinical use to know exactly what is happening at the point of care. Medical physicists are best equipped to understand the technologies and their applications, and these individuals are assuming greater responsibilities in the clinical arena to ensure that intended care is delivered in a safe and effective manner. Built on a foundation of classic and cutting-edge research, Informatics in Medical Imaging supports and updates medical physicists functioning at the intersection of radiology and radiation. How did use of medical technology such as urinalyses, blood tests, and x-ray machines change patient care in early-twentieth-century American hospitals? To what extent was the use of new machines influenced by the ideas of scientific medicine and to what extent by the availability of newly structured facilities and trained personnel? Drawing on the medical treatment of more than 2,000 patients in Pennsylvania and New York hospitals, Howell traces the ways in which medical technology was used, not merely how it was talked about. He utilizes a wide range of sources—including medical texts, popular literature, and the visual arts—to explore how technology came to be such a central feature of medical care.Howell also shows how changes in medical practice raised issues of gender, culture, and economics. Howell\'s analysis is especially timely in light of the ongoing debate over U.S. health care reform, a debate in which a central topic is the use and expense of medical technology. In a concluding chapter he applies the book\'s historical insights to medical practice today—asking why, for example, modern diagnostic tests have not been used to give doctors more time to spend with patients. Technology has always been inseparable from the development of music. But in the twentieth century a rapid acceleration took place: a new machine music came into existence, electronic musical instruments appeared, and composers sometimes seemed more like sound technicians than musicians. In this book Hans-Joachim Braun and his co-authors offer a wide-ranging and fascinating look at the relationship of technology and modern music. Topics range from the role of Yamaha in Japan\'s musical development to the social construction of the synthesizer from the player piano as precursor of computer music to the musical role of airplanes and locomotives from the growth of one independent recording studio (from Polka to Punk) to the origins of the 45–RPM record. Other chapters consider violin vibrato and the phonograph, Jimi Hendrix, and the aesthetic challenge of soundsampling. The book concludes with a look at the current situation, and perspectives for its future in electronic music.Contributors: Barbara Barthelmes, Karin Bijsterveld, Hans-Joachim Braun, Martha Brech, Hugh Davies, Bernd Enders, Geoffrey Hindley, Jüergen Hocker, Mark Katz, Tatsuya Kobayashi, James P.

The history of the twentieth century is most often told through its world wars, the rise and fall of communism, or its economic upheavals. In his startling new book, J. R. McNeill gives us our first general account of what may prove to be the most significant dimension of the twentieth century: its environmental history. To a degree unprecedented in human history, we have refashioned the earth\'s air, water, and soil, and the biosphere of which we are a part. Based on exhaustive research, McNeill\'s story—a compelling blend of anecdotes, data, and shrewd analysis—never preaches: it is our definitive account. This is a volume in The Global Century Series (general editor, Paul Kennedy).ContentsList of maps and tablesForeword by Paul KennedyAcknowledgmentsPreface1.
