ICT IN HOSPITALS - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a type of imaging that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images of the body. The MRI scanner creates a strong magnetic field through the body, and then it sends radio waves into the body and assesses the response sent back from the different tissues. nder the influence of the magnetic field, different tissues send back different responses to the radio waves. ! computer in the scanner processes the different responses, and where they came from, into images of the body. MRI provides e"cellent imaging which can be used to evaluate for tumors, infections, stroke, and internal organs in the abdomen and pelvis, disc herniations, ligament and tendon tears, inflammatory changes as well as vascular disease.

ICT IN SHIPPIN
International telegraphic message$transfer service consisting of a network of teleprinters. .ubscribers to a tele" service can e"change te"tual communications and data directly with one another. #ommunication is opened by entering the assigned call number of the destination subscriber, using a dial or the teleprinter8s keyboard. The typed message is converted to a low$bit$rate electrical signal, which is transmitted over channels leased from the telephone system and routed by switching centres operated by the tele" provider. 9hen the message arrives at the destination teleprinter, it is either printed immediately or stored for subse)uent printing or display on a cathode$ray tube monitor. In many countries the system has been moderni'ed by computer$based switching, which provides enhanced performance and also allows automated conversion to and from formats used in other data$ transmission services.

! postage meter (*ran$ing machines) is a mechanical device used to create and apply physical evidence of postage (or franking) to mailed matter. 0ostage meters are regulated by a country/s postal authority1 ! postage meter imprints an amount of postage, functioning as a postage stamp, a cancellation and a dated postmark all in one. The meter indicia serves as proof of payment and eliminates the need for adhesive stamps. 0ostage meters have evolved from purely mechanical devices to today/s Internet$based postage dispensing services. The postage meter normally consists of a keyboard for entering the postage, three seals, and a stamping mechanism. 9ith ,igital 0rint Meters, postage is added through a modem connection. 0ostage is printed through an ink&et cartridge using special postage ink. ;eading systems also include Intelli;ink technology, which provides access to a complete suite of management information and .0. services such as ,elivery #onfirmation, .ignature #onfirmation, #ertified Mail and e$Return Receipt.

These scanner devices use X-Ray technology, similar to that used in medical applications, to see through your bag. The link bet een the actual security scanner and the monitor that is being used to display the images is, o! course, a "#$ or %"& signal. $ simple analog video link bet een the baggage scanner and a monitor placed a ay !rom the scanner ould not yield enough resolution or 'uality !or proper analysis o! the video. $ high resolution solution must be implemented in order to transmit a diagnostic 'uality image, like the one originating !rom the "#$ scanner, to a remote location like a control room. This is here !rame grabbers become use!ul. (sing a computer e'uipped ith a !rame grabber or a dedicated "#$ recording)broadcasting device, the signal can be transmitted in real-time to a control room here someone ould be able to revie the baggage being scanned. *hat+s more, i! the "#$ or %"& signal !rom the X-Ray ,canner is being recorded, the data can be saved and revie ed, meaning that suspicious luggage can still be checked be!ore the passenger boards his or her !light.
