Doing the Robot
Technology, you may hate it or love it, but either way, we all use it. Whether it is for good or bad, technology makes our lives either whether we realize it or not. One of the ways that technology helps us, is helping us understand and examine the inside of the human body. With this technology, we can professionals can fully understand what is wrong with a person. This is the only beginning, as technology will continue to advance and provide us with more.
Another great invention would be the invention of the X-ray. The invention of X-rays was discovered by a German Physicist named W.C.Roentgen. X-rays were discovered by using tubes similar to our fluorescent light bulbs. The tube would create a fluorescent flow and he found that the light allowed him to see through solid objects. He named the ray, "X-ray", because in mathematics "X" is a variable and unknown. X-rays are harmful if used for too long because the fluorescent lights cause skin cancer and skin diseases.
Another important invention would be the Cat Scans. Cat scanning also called CT scanning, uses similar equipment of the x-ray, to produce images of the inside of a body. This is one of the fastest ways to examine a person's chest, abdomen and pelvis, because it provides detailed images, of all types of tissue in that area. It is used to diagnose cancers. The Cat Scans were discovered by a British engineer named Sir Godfrey Hounsfield and Dr. Alan Cormack.
