1 Ultra Violet Lamp MRI scanner Used to stop jaundice in babies helping the tiny liver clean the blood. Also used to treat people with TB, Lupus or even treat acne. Mobility of device 3 Uses magnets to change the spin of atoms in our bodies and it picks up changes in radio signals from tissue. These are converted by computer into images of bone and tissue. 4 Mobility of device CAT scan PET scan Uses a series of rotating radioactive X Rays to construct series of images dissecting the body. These signals are turned into an image by a computer. by a computer. 5 Mobility of device Uses Positron emissions to create a 3D image of the body and can trace radioactive material through parts of the body such as the brain. 4 Mobility of device

2 Computers Stethoscope Use to turn signals from scanners into images, to assist with diagnosis, compile medical records and conduct remote consultations. Life saver 5 Mobility of device 6 Used to listen to function of the body, such as the heart or lungs. This can detect irregular heart beats or a murmur or infection in the lungs. Life saver Mobility of device Thermometer. Microscope Used to check temperature as a rise can mean an infection. High temperatures can lead to death. Mobility of device Uses light and a lens to identify cell structure and changes in cells, the presence of bacteria or malignancy of a specimen. Life saver 6

3 Endoscope Blood pressure monitor. Flexible fibreglass tube that has a light source and camera at the end. They can be swallowed to allow entry to the guts or inserted through small cuts in the skin. Mobility of device 8 Used to determine blood pressure as too high a pressure can be dangerous and cause other conditions within the body, including strokes. 3 Bone replacements Radiotherapy Titanium replacement joints to replace aged, brittle or broken joints such as hips and knees. Life saver 4 Mobility of device 8 5 Use of ionised radiation which is focused on a specific area, where a cancer growth is in order to damage and kill the DNA of the cancer. Mobility of device 6

4 Chemotherapy Use of toxic chemicals to kill rapidly dividing cells in the body, such as cancer cells, but this also damages the immune system, hair and other cells. Mobility of device 5 X Ray Crystallography Uses X Rays beams to diffract in a crystal in order to see the electrons within an atom and so read the structure of the atom. Used in discovering the structure of DNA. Mobility of device Electron microscope. Syringe pump/driver Bombards the specimen with electrons to create an image of the specimen at an anatomical level. Can diagnose malignancy and identify a virus. Mobility of device 4 Small electronic pump that gives drugs into the vein when required, by a timer or by patient request. Includes chemotherapy or pain relief.

5 Autoclave Dialysis Machine Pressure chamber that forms a vacuum and uses steam at high pressure to sterilise medical equipment. Mobility of device 6 Used to extract and filter the blood in order to clean the blood when the kidney is failing or has failed. Can prolong life. Life saver Mobility of device 3 Nuclear Medicine Neonatal incubator. Use of positrons to track isotopes in the body or to kill cancers at a DNA level. Less damaging than Radiotherapy but still experimental. Mobility of device Boxed crib that creates perfect environmental conditions for a premature or sick baby. Mobility of device 4

6 Stent Heart-Lung machine Plastic or metal framed balloon collapsed into a thin catheter and inserted into a vein or artery, it is then inflated to enlarge a blocked artery or vein. Life saver A pump that takes on the role of the heart and filtrates oxygen into the blood in order to take on the role of the organs during open heart surgery. Mobility of device 3 X Ray Machine Pacemaker Discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen in 85, this type of radiation passes through the body and is absorbed by dense material such as bones. When a photographic plate is used, an image is formed. Life saver 5 6 Mobility of device 4 Small device where electrodes are attached to the heart. When the pacemaker recognises an irregular rhythm a shock is issued to the heart into order to restore a natural heart rhythm. Life saver

7 Hearing Aid Cochlea Implant Small battery powered transistors that amplify the sounds of the outside world to enable hard of hearing people to hear. Life saver 6 Attached to the hearing nerves in the brain, electrodes stimulate activity in response to sounds enabling the profoundly deaf to hear. Life saver Ventilator E.C.G. Electrical devices that pump air into the lungs through a tube inserted down the throat and into the lungs. Life saver Mobility of device 4 Heart trace machine that picks up signals from the heart to create an image, sound or printed paper trace to show the heart rhythm. Mobility of device 6

8 Ultrasound imaging Blood bank Uses sound waves and the way they bounce back to form images from a specific area of the body in order to diagnose issues. Life saver 4 Mobility of device 5 Donated blood is stored with the use of chemicals and temperature control in order to replace blood in operations or after accidents. Mobility of device 3 Hypodermic Needles Blood oxygen monitor Range of needles that allow liquids to be injected into veins or for samples of blood to be removed for testing. 6 Mobility of device 8 Use light waves and the way they are absorbed to work out the level of oxygen in the blood and the heart rate of the person.
