What information can a CAT Scan tell someone?
The information from a CAT Scan can tell someone a diagnosis on the state of one's health. A CAT scan is able to determine some kinds of health problems in different regions of the human body. Some of the areas that a CAT scan can detect different types of problematic issues are within the gallbladder, pancreas and spleen.
A ct scan was performed on my son's head the patchy attenuation was in the pons area of the brainstem how serious is this and how should he follow up please?
Low attenuation can mean different things. Was it a CT scan or MRI, do you know if they used contrast. An area with low attenuation needs to be re-evaluated to see what it is. Why did he have the scan? Did he have a trauma/injury? Was he having headaches or other symptoms? What else did the doctors tell you?
Can a pet scan detect rheumatoid arthritis?
Yes.A PET Scan (or Positron Emission Tomography) Is a way of finding the most active areas in the body. the parts of the body that require the most energy use the most sugar, also referred to glucose). A PET scan uses a special material that imitates the sugar, and this is taken up by the cells in the area of activity. This material called a tracer has a small radioactive component attached to it. The images created as a result of PET scans are based on the detection of radiation from the emission of positrons (positively charged electrons) from the radioactive tracer. The subsequent images created are used to evaluate a variety of diseases, with the most common use being whole body imaging of cancer. Rheumatoid arthritis will be seen in a pet scan, However a pet scan will not tell you that it is RA that you are looking at. It will tell you that there is an area of high activity. At this stage the only way to be sure that you have RA is by recognising the symptoms and monitoring inflammation and any specific damage that may be done to various joints. through imaging such as Xray.
Can a CT brain scan tell you if you have alzheimers?
Certain modern CT scan techniques may show if you have a tendency or likelihood of Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's doesn't appear as a concrete thing but certain distance measurements from the brain ventricles to the mid line of the brain can be plotted by specialist doctors in a special table to determine the likelihood of Alzheimer's. The degree of atrophy of the brain can also indicate problems with senility.
What types of tissue make up your heart?
The types of tissues that make up your heart are cardiac muscle tissue, nerve tissue and blood tissue. The cardiac muscle tissue contracts, making the heart pump. The nerve tissue brings messages that tell the heart how fast to beat. The blood tissue is carried from the heart to other organs of the body.
Is there a way to combate inability to taste?
The ability to taste is directly correlated with your ability to smell. In fact, studies have shown that most people can not tell the difference between an onion and an apple when their sense of smell is cut of and they do not see what food they are eating. Your ability to smell comes your olfactory system which can be damaged, if the components your body uses to smell (such as olfactory bulbs and olfactory nerve) are damaged then your sense of smell will decrease and in turn your sense of taste will decrease as well. At this point I do not believe there is a reversal process for someone who has suffered damages to any of the physiological aspects of smell, however, if you suffer from a chronically stuffy nose or clogged sinuses this can impair your taste as well, since, like I said before your sense of smell is impaired. By taking over the counter medication to clear your nasal passages or sinuses in order to breath better through your nose you may increase your sensitivity to taste.

How do you detect a pinched nerve?
Only if the nerve being pinched is being caused by a herniated disk, or other problem which is visible via the scan. However, CT scan with dye (Myelogram) tends to be more effective at showing up problems. In many cases you really don't need a scan, as the nerve path being irritated can tell you which nerve is being pinched. From there, if you can trace it back to the problem origin, you can determine what's causing it if you've had an injury. Even exercising without proper stretching can cause a pinched nerve. A pinched nerve is easy enough to identify - it feels like being stabbed with a heavy gage needle. In those cases where the nerve is being severely pinched (such as a disk herniation) you can literally feel the pain down the entire nerve path. This is why sciatic nerve pinches from a disk herniation can be felt down the back of the legs - that's the nerve pathway. If it doesn't get better or go away after a few days, then there's cause to get it looked at, or if the pain is severe enough that it interferes with daily activity. Most aren't that bad, and can be caused by simply sitting or sleeping in a bad position, even bad posture.
