Nuclear medicine is a specialized branch of modern medicine that exploits the process of radioactivity for imaging, diagnosis, and treatment. Many imaging techniques inject small amounts of radioactive material into the body, which are then tracked by a sensing device specific to the type of radiation emitted from that material. Radiation has also been used to destroy diseased tissue, typically beyond the reach of standard surgical techniques.

Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, write a paper on nuclear medicine. Address the following:

Explain the scientific and technical concepts related to nuclear medicine. Consider the following questions when you construct your response:
What type of radiation is typically exploited in most nuclear medicine procedures?
How are patients prepared for nuclear medicine procedures?
What are the advantages and limitations of nuclear medicine?
What ailments are typically diagnosed and treated via nuclear medicine procedures?

Evaluate a minimum of three applications of nuclear medicine relating to any of the following topics:
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans
Gallium scans
Indium white blood cell scans
Iobenguane scans (MIBG)
Octreotide scans
Hybrid scanning techniques employing X-ray computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Nuclear medicine therapy using radiopharmaceuticals

Consider the information presented in this unit regarding occupational health and safety. Prepare an article for a newspaper (approximately 3 pages) that discusses the top 10 causes of accidents in the work place and the steps that can be taken to reduce the number of those accidents. Support your claims with examples and research.

You are currently working as a freelance systems designer and have been asked to do some of the design work for a case-tracking information system that is being developed for a local law firm that specializes in civil cases. The business objective is to implement a system that tracks a civil case from the time that the law firm begins working on the lawsuit through its final adjudication.

Examine the system from the object-oriented analysis perspective you explored in Chapter 10. Consider some of the main objects and classes you would expect to find in a law firm that specializes in civil filings and respond to the following:

Describe each of these classes, including their name and attributes using Figure 10-2 as an example.
Describe any generalization/specialization relationships, using Figure 10-4 as an example.
Identify the object/class associations, and create an object/class association table, using Figure 10-5 as an example. Make sure to include the multiplicity for each association.
Identify the aggregation relationships, and prepare an aggregation relationship table, using Figure 10-6 as an example.

Instructional Objectives for this activity:

Analyze the role that technology plays in our business lives and how it influences ethics and stakeholders

Technological determinism is the imperative that what can be developed will be developed. Ethical lag occurs when the speed of technological change exceeds the speed of ethical development. A variety of issues arise in the business context at the crossroads of technology and ethics.

Please write a paper that addresses the following:

One of the technological issues that arises in the business context is that of privacy. What personal information do businesses acquire from their employees? Their shareholders? Their customers? Their vendors? How should organizations protect this information?
Have you witnessed unethical activities related to technology, either by employees in a company in which you’ve worked or at school? What made the activity unethical? How was this unethical conduct addressed by management or school administrators? How should it have been addressed?

In Chapter Nine of your textbook, the author discusses the concept of organizational development. Although organizational development can be an effective way for companies to remain competitive, only about two-thirds of change efforts are actually successful. Why do you believe organizational development is so difficult?

Think of a barrier to organizational development that you have personally experienced as an employee or that stands out to you as being common. Explain why you believe this barrier is challenging for organizations as well as what you would do to overcome it, if you were faced with change in your organization.
