  1. Looking Inside The Human Body By: Kristen Miller

  2. Introduction What is a medical invention? They are machines invented to improve the life of humans. These inventions do thing that humans cant perform. They can simulate human body functions and can examine the body in places the human I eye can see.

  3. Types of medical inventions • X-ray: The x-ray was invented in 1895. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation. This invention is used to look at bones in inside he body. • Ultrasound: The ultrasound or sonogram was invented in 1957. This uses sound waves to make a picture of the body’s tissues. This is also used to examine the fetus in the womb. • Nuclear Scan: The nuclear scan was invented in 1958. This uses a radioactive substance and a gamma ray camera to make a picture inside the body.

  4. More medical inventions • Cat Scan: The Cat Scan was invented in 1972. It is a high powered type of x-ray technology that looks for internal bleeding , broken bone, and tumors. • MRI: The MRI was invented in 1977. It is a type of medical diagnostic imaging used to look at the spinal cord, brain, heart, blood vessels, and internal organs.

  6. What is the reason for these Inventions? • Why exactly do your parents pay taxes to help improve medical inventions? They pay to improve theses inventions to make a trip to the doctors easier and stress free. Theses inventions can identify illness and catch them before they harm your body. The can simulated human body functions. An example of this is the artificial heart. They can examine deep inside the human body. They have many uses in improving life for humans.

  7. What was the first medical invention? • The very first medical invention that examines the inside of the human body was the X-Ray. On 8 Nov, 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (accidentally) discovered an image cast from his cathode ray generator, projected far beyond the possible range of the cathode rays (now known as an electron beam). Further investigation showed that the rays were generated at the point of contact of the cathode ray beam on the interior of the vacuum tube, that they were not deflected by magnetic fields, and they penetrated many kinds of matter.

  8. How do these inventions improve health and social education? • These inventions make it easier to spot harmful things inside the body. They can monitor the inside of the body weather it’s a fetus or a heart. The help make diagnosis more accurate. Medical inventions help make people have the good health they deserve. They help social education by informing society that there are easy and painless ways to get help.

  9. How where these inventions created? • The medical inventions were created because of curiosity. The people that created these inventions had no intention of creating a machine that helps people all around the world. They were scientist that was “fooling” around with different rays. Even though that discovery of these inventions were accidental they are helping people all over the world.
