Vulnerabilities Vulnerabilities occur when corrupted code or misconfigured hardware are on a network. This is why it is important for an organization to have an effective vulnerability assessment plan that includes regular scans of the network and annual penetration tests. These scans are very important to prevent hackers from “utilizing these flaws to gain access to your machines” (Houghton, 2003). An excellent source of information to get “summaries, technical details, remediation information, and
detail the functioning of distinct areas of the human brain while the patient is comfortable, conscious and alert. PET represents a type of functional imaging, unlike X-rays or CT scans, which show only structural details within the brain. The differences between these types of imaging don’t end there. In both X-rays and CT scans, a form of radiation is emitted and travels through the body, and a detector receives the unabsorbed rays and transmits them to a computer. The physics behind PET scanning is

Bone Density Scan Introduction Bone density generally refers to the strength of a bone and its ability to bear weight. Doing a bone density scan therefore measures a bone’s strength, its ability to bear weight, and its risk of fracture. The most common and accurate way to measure bone density is to use a Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. (Medlineplus, 2014). Before the use of DEXA was introduced, osteoporosis could be determined only when a patient broke a bone, and by then, the bone
X-RAYs and scans many doctors use today to diagnose patients over the years. Through todays technology we are able to look at the many different reasons why we use the types of tests to properly diagnose patients. The first scan is a CT scan, which is “A computerized tomography scan”. It combines a series of X-Ray images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images or slices of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissue in the body. A CT scan provides more
1) What is CT Scan? CT / CAT Scan also known as (Computer Tomography Scan / Computer Axial Tomography ) is a type of machine that uses X-rays waves a powerful radiating wave from the electromagnetic spectrum. It also uses computing machines to produce detailed images of the inside of a body to perform a full thorough body check to a precise consistency. It gives a clear three dimensional view of the soft tissues like the blood vessels, muscles, and also our vital organs. There are many purposes
Why is a PET Scan Important? A PET scan is a very crucial medical and research tool that has revolutionized the administration of health care to the sick. This form of imaging will always show images of changing functional processes of the body before any other scan such as CT or MRI. This type of scan has been very useful to clinical oncologists who deal with mild to complicated brain conditions. This scan helps oncologists to map the behavior and functioning of the human brain while also registering
A computerized Axial tomography scan is medical equipment used to image different regions of a human body as well as other animals with internal health problems. A CAT scan uses the idea of conventional X- ray imaging to a higher standard. Instead of just taking pictures of the different body part of interest, the CAT scan takes multiple pictures of the body at many different angles and creates a three dimensional structure of the body. This three dimensional structures show’s a complete body components
Things You Should Ask a Doctor before Getting a CT scan A recent report published in the issue of New England journal of medicine raises serious concerns regarding the use & overuse of CT scan. While people risk of developing cancer from a CAT or CT scan, which radiate high degrees of radiation, are comparatively low, the researchers fear that their fast growth as an extremely precise diagnostic tool is exposing a lot of the populace – and an growing amount of vulnerable children to radiation and
Starbucks Environmental Scan Starbucks is a company in which purchases and roasts high quality whole bean coffees and sells them along with fresh, rich-brewed, Italian style espresso beverages, a variety of pastries and confections, and coffee-related accessories and equipment (starbucks.com). During my environmental scan in which took place at the Starbucks on the corner of Fair and Newport across the street from vanguard, I noticed many things in which where never brought to my attention in prior
Directed by Pete Doctor & Bob Peterson, Up is a 2009 animated film centering around the life of Carl Fredricksen. By attaching tens of thousands of balloons to his home, he sets out to fulfill his dream to see the wilds of South America and to complete a promise made to his life Ellie after her death. The scene I have chosen is pivotal as it was crafted to convey three major points to the audience, to set up the relationship of the characters, establish Carl as a relatable character and to establish
and diagnose an illness because of a great medical detection technology: Computed tomography scanning or CT scans. It’s a scanning technology which uses X-ray computed tomography to generate images of internal organs in human body. Because of its accuracy, more and more people choose to use CT scans. According to Bernier and his team’s research (2015), in the USA, “the number of CT scans increased from 2 million in 1980 to about 70 million in 2007” (p116) and this number is still growing. But in
Needs assessment ‘Need’ refers to the gap or discrepancy between the present state and the desired state (Kaufman, Mabel & Mayer, 1993). Needs assessment is a type of applied research that gathers and analyzes information to identify and describe the gaps between real and ideal conditions (Finlayson, 2002). The primary objective of this needs assessment is to guide the need for a more comprehensive assessment of current status of occupation based instructions of physical agent modalities (PAMs).

There are six environmental factors that can affect an industry and they are economic, political, social, technological, competitive, and geographical. These factors are known as the environmental scan. Many businesses including Tiffany & Co. are affected by the macro-environment which can include a number of factors as mentioned above. Economy is one of the main factors that affect many companies and Tiffany’s as well. I believe that general and industry economic conditions and socio-cultural factors
The institution chosen for this organizational scan is my current employer, Central New Mexico Community College (CNM). CNM is a very large 2-year public institution. According to the Carnegie Classification System (2008; 2010), the current student population is 27,999. It is a public urban institution serving multiple campuses. It is exclusively an undergraduate two-year institution, and the undergraduate profile is higher part-time two-year (para. 1). As the associate director of Financial Aid
A challenge that I had during my first clinical rotation was the first performed transvaginal scan that came earlier than I expected. It was my first contact with a transvaginal transducer, inside of a woman's body and my first scan of ectopic pregnancy. In spite of all the nervousness and without any knowledge of how the procedure is or how to find the organs by looking internally, I kept my calm and “poker face” together. Everything started as a regular clinical day, eager to learn new scanning
Why Voting is never Completely Accurate!! Statement of the Problem There are several problems when it comes to elections. One of the problems is whether the candidates played fairly throughout the election. Another problem is whether the votes that are being cast are being counted correctly or even being counted at all. The main reason this topic has become such an important issue is because of the last two elections. The first election had a problem in the state of Florida, and the 2004 elections
The Problems with Voting in America If one were to look at the voting history as of late in America you would surely find information on the Florida catastrophe in 2000. The problem with our voting system today is in the technology being used; many demographic groups find our current systems confusing and hard to use. As voters step into the polling places this election year many will be voting through new devices some even sporting “touch screen” technology and we can only hope that the new
