Technology has improved in many ways these past few
decades. It was a difficult time for doctors to diagnose patients with
harsh headaches, and nowadays, it became easier, thanks to the new and improved
machines that are used to read brain activity. The invention of these new
techniques to research brain activity helped many in the medical field to
diagnose patients with problems. They are less painful than the older versions
that were used for diagnosing temporal problems. This new technology in the
medical field has saved many lives, by being able to let the doctors diagnose
the problem in time so they could start helping in a timely manner before the
sickness increases and gets worst. To be able to see how the human brain
and subject changes how he feels physically and mentally. The new
technology in the medical field is truly something not everyone would imagine
it could be possible. Only imagine the amount of open possibilities that
can be achieved in a couple of years as these new brain imaging techniques help
doctors in their medical field. The human brain still has its mysteries
that we still continue solving one at a time and learning more about ourselves,
as humans. It is amazing how technology
has been a great source to achieve brain readings for doctors. Doctors used EEGs which are used for
recording electrical activity going through the brain to read brain activity
being caused by other factors. Another
example of brain imaging machines would be such as the PET scans. This machine reads the activity of the brain
by recording radioactivity that was being submitted by chemicals that were put
in the body. One machine that is very
common and well known would be the fMRI, this machine is less expensive and
less risky for patients. This machine
gives doctors detailed photos of the patient’s brain. Technology has been changing greatly and who
knows later on there will be machines who will understand the complexity of our
brain activity to all extent.
