15. Various Anatomical Imaging Technologies  Computer Assisted Tomography (CAT Scans)  Electrocardiograms (EKG)  Endoscopy (colonoscopy, proctoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy)  Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)  Positron Emission Tomography (PET Scans)  Ultrasonic Imaging (2D & 3D Ultrasounds)

16. Research Assignment: Anatomical Imaging Technologies & Applications Who: Your lab group (3-4 people) What: Research and present information about the use of different anatomical imaging technologies, the science behind their function and their ability to diagnose various diseases/anomalies. How: Using various print and/or electronic resources, research an assigned anatomical imaging technology and present in Power Point™ or GoogleDocs™ Presentation format with a MINIMUM of 9 slides When: Research today; write, compile and edit tonight; present tomorrow (8/23/13)

17. Required Research Content 1) What anatomical features of the body can be studied using this technology? 2) What diseases, injuries and/or pathologies can be detected with this technology 3) How long has this technology been available to scientists/physicians? Are there any specific individuals credited with the invention? 4) How did scientists and physicians study this region of the body in the past? As such what are the advantages of this technology over the prior methods? 5) What are the risks associated with the use of this technology? How does this risk compare with other potential injuries? 6) How routine is the use of this technology? What would be the closest location where one could obtain access to this technology? 7) What are the general scientific principles behind HOW the technology is able to obtain data and/or images from the features/areas described in question #1? 8) Briefly summarize any preparations or specific procedures that the patient or cadaver must undergo before information can be obtained.

18. Assessment Criteria A) Are all eight (8) of the required content areas addressed? B) Is there sufficient detail to make the technology understandable to the average person without overgeneralizing how the technology works and why it is advantageous C) Do your presentation slides include clear statements, sufficient (but not excessive text) and relevant, explanatory images? D) Do you have at least three (3) different sources of information cited in your presentation?
