CHANGES IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

This article explores the profound changes in medical technology from the era of the Black Plague to modern imaging techniques like MRI. The bubonic plague, which decimated populations in China and Europe, highlighted the urgent need for advancements in medical understanding and technology. Fast forward to today, the invention of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen and the development of MRI by Raymond Damadian and others have revolutionized diagnostics. This progression showcases a significant leap in our ability to visualize the human body and diagnose diseases effectively.

  3. The bubonic plague is spread mainly by rodents

  4. The first to witness the bubonic plague was china

  5. 37% of china died or got infected by this disease

  6. 25 million people died in just under five years

  7. The black rats fleas were different than other fleas

  8. The black plague (black death or the bubonic plague) was spread in London by the black rat

  9. The bubonic plague spread throughout Europe and Asia

  10. Progress in medical technology

  11. X rays

  12. X rays send sound waves into the body the sound waves bounce back sending a picture back

  13. There is also g-rays (gamma rays) they used it inthe movie incredible hulk.

  14. Wilhelm Conrad roentgen is the inventor of the x ray.

  15. the MRI machine

  16. MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging

  17. The inventors of MRI: Raymond Damadian, Paul lauterher and peter Mansfield

  18. The MRI scanner uses magnetism and radio waves.
