Polaroid photograph of ultrasound scan of foetus in utero, taken at University College Hospital, London, 1981 X-rays are a high-energy, invisible, form of electromagnetic radiation. Like visible light, they are reflected by some objects and absorbed to varying degrees by others. Because MRI can construct images of soft tissue, it's especially useful for diagnosing joint abnormalities, diseases of the liver and abdominal organs, and identifying tumours and uterine conditions such as fibroids. J Bronzino, V Smith and M Wade (eds), Medical technology and society: an interdisciplinary perspective (Massachusetts: MIT press 1990)The writing is split up into small bubbles of writing and the children are able to work their way round the book in a creative way. Having the flaps in the book also add that element of excitement making it a fun learning tool. This book is so great. It is so informative. My son loves to look and see what happens when you eat food (let’s be real – he loves to see the poop)! It has over 100 flaps (including flaps in flaps)! It shows how your muscles work and how your brain processes what you see. I highly recommend this book.” Other Usborne Books & More titles in the Series include: X-rays were the first technology that made it possible to see inside the body without having to open it up. They were discovered by German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen (1845–1923) at the end of the 1800s and had an immediate impact on anatomical study and diagnostics.

In MRI, the patient is placed in a powerful magnetic field, which influences the hydrogen atoms in the body. Short bursts of radio waves are then used to alter the atomic alignment created by the magnetic field. When the radio waves are turned off, the atoms return to their alignment and in so doing emit a weak radio signal of their own. CT scans provide more detailed images than X-ray machines. They can be used to detect bone and joint damage, including complex bone fractures. They can also reveal the precise location, size and shape of unusual occurrences such as tumours and blood clots, as well as internal injuries such as bleeding.

Even if the younger children are not fully aware of all the terms they are still able to use their fine motor skills when using the flaps etc. Yet I was left with more questions than answers. Are these methods used in real-life diagnosis? If not, why not? Why had these women been allowed to live in such pain for so long? More interrogation into the whys and wherefores would have been appreciated. Digital photography continues to play a role in medicine through documentation, research and education. Video cameras are commonly used to look inside the body, most often in the form of endoscopes. Scanning technologies collect readings from the body and use a computer to process the data into visual images. The readings can be taken from a variety of sources: The book is all about the human body from the digestive system to the skeleton and everything in between. There is a lot of detail but not too much that makes it difficult for the children to read.
