This paper was prepared for Medical Center Muntinlupa (MCM).
MCM is a DOH-accredited Level 3 hospital in Muntinlupa city with a 100-bed capacity.
MCM is situated at Putatan, Muntinlupa, Metro Manila and has been in service since 1990 when a group of doctors founded the institution and firstly named it as Muntinlupa Polymedic Inc. Below is a map of the hospital:

Brief Description of the Project This feasibility project proposes the acquisition of a 1.5T Tesla MRI for Medical Center Muntinlupa to meet the demands for the service around Muntinlupa and its neighboring cities. Should the management of the institution pursue this feasibility study, it will be implemented between 2018 to 2020.

In many cases, MRI can give out different information about structures in the body than can be seen with an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan. MRI can also show problems that cannot be seen with other imaging methods. (Lam, 2017)

An MRI scan uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to create a detailed cross-sectional image of the patient's internal organs and structures. The scanner itself typically resembles a large tube with a table in the middle, allowing the patient to slide into the tunnel. An MRI scan differs from CT scans and X-rays because it does not use ionizing radiation that can be potentially harmful to a patient. (Lam, 2017)
MRI is commonly used to diagnose injuries related to sports, as well as work-related disorders strain, vibration, or forceful impact. Using these magnetic resonance images, doctors can locate and identify the cause of pain, swelling or bleeding in the tissues in and around joints and bones. The images allow doctors to clearly see even very small tears and injuries in tendons, ligaments and muscles, and even some fractures that cannot be seen on x-rays.

    1.0 Introduction Acute respiratory distress syndrome also called adult respiratory distress syndrome. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was originally defined by Ashbaugh et al in 1967 as a condition identify by rapid onset tachypnoea and hypoxaemia with loss of lung compliance and bilateral infiltrates on chest radiograph. ARDS happen both adult and children. ARDS may happen in people of any age. Its rate increases with advancing age, ranging from 16 cases per 100,000 person-years in those aged 15-19 years to 306 cases per 100,000 person-years in those between the ages of 75 and 84 years.

    The expansion in the hospital will definitely earn profits for a long term but would also incur expenses for the hiring of new staff and training them, and the establishment of the new branch. The marketing strategy should be implemented as soon as possible with the help of brochures saying that the shouldice hospital is the only hospital in the world with the technical expertise to practice the method they developed. This will warn the people against any fraudulent practices and will ensure that the failures of the distinct method are not blamed on the Shouldice hospital. In the long run, the media can also be used to draw the attention towards the wrong practice of the Shouldice method and that the hospital is not responsible for

    1. Write a brief introduction about the diagnostic imaging modality. Nuclear medicine is a section of medical imaging that uses radioactive medication known as radiotracers or radiopharmaceutical (Understanding nuclear medicine, 2009). Radiotracers are given to the patient through injection, swallowing or inhalation, which makes the body radioactive for a short time. The radiation is detected by a special camera, and then the image is produced.

    Discussion The ankle is the most frequently injured major joint in the body. Ultrasonography (US) performed with high-resolution broadband linear-array probes has become increasingly important in the assessment of ligaments around the ankle because it is low cost, fast, readily available, and free of ionizing radiation. US can provide a detailed depiction of normal anatomic structures and is effective for evaluating ligament integrity. In addition, US allows the performance of dynamic maneuvers, which may contribute to increasing the visibility of normal ligaments and improved detection of tears (1).

  • The Pros And Cons Of MRI Scan

    There are also huge risks that some people may also have to take when getting a MRI. If you are wearing any metal objects or have any metal implants in your body the magnetic fields produced by the scanner will detect and then attract them at great force. Although they are usually safe for pregnant women there are still some risks because the MRI scan can cause the body to heat up. As a safety measure most doctors will advise that you do not have a MRI scan in the first 3 months of your pregnancy unless it is considered critical. There is also an extremely rare risk of an allergic reaction occurring only about 1 in 10,000 people given gadolinium, however there is still the possibility.

    In the 1980s there were 12 MRI machines in the world and the men and women who used them knew each other. Now there are over 25,000 MR systems worldwide and operated by thousands. However, in Europe there are on average 11 Magnetic Resonance systems per 1 million people, while only 0.5 systems per million people in India which are densely distributed around wealthier cities, leaving poorer areas lacking in medical imaging facilities. [1] The negatives surrounding these imaging deficiencies have inspired several scientists around the world to develop new methods and equipment that can become more accessible to the masses. Huge amounts time of research is going into developing new technologies that can be substituted for, or even replace these

    Some advantages of this technique are that there is no radiation involved, it is good at visualizing soft tissue, and that since it can visualize soft tissue so easily it can identify a multitude of different problems. Some disadvantages are that it is time consuming, expensive, and there is extensive training needed to operate it. The last type of imaging technique that will be covered is conventional radiography which can detect foreign bodies and changes or lesions of the skeletal system and is used when the corpse cannot fit into the CT machine. The advantages of this technique are that it is simple, quick, and cost efficient. However, it uses radiation, cannot make three-dimensional reconstructions, has a superimposed image, and it cannot visualize soft tissue

    Radiation can be defined as the energy travelling through space which comes from a source and may be able to penetrate various materials. There are two types of radiation and they are the non-ionizing and ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation consists of light, radio and microwaves. Whereby ionizing radiation can produce charged particles in matter, and ionizing radiation is produced by unstable atoms. The difference between unstable atoms and stable atoms is that unstable atoms have an excess of energy or mass or both.
