Advances in Body-Scan Imaging Technologies
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing the technology involved in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Though medical imaging technology seemed to languish for nearly a generation without much technological advance beyond that which allowed the creation of various approaches, the continuing evolution of the entire health care system seems to be creating an environment in which additional technological advance not only is encouraged but then embraced when it emerges. Managed care’s “bean counting” approach to finance discouraged imaging advance in past years, but ultimately may well be the single most important factor in continuing technological advance in imaging techniques. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Altering Medicare’s Effect on Health Care
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing the history, economic effect, regulations and future of Medicare. There is intense and ongoing debate about the future of Medicare, the need for reform and the shape that such reform should take. As politicians haggle over private interests and noble ideals that no one can afford, Medicare’s influence on health care increasingly affects microeconomic choices of households and businesses, as well as the larger national economy. There is no question that Medicare must become more flexible. Its micro- and macroeconomic effect is detrimental to the health care industry, to the national economy and to individuals seeking health care services. The paper suggests that Medicare allow the private sector to drive reform of the system. Includes an outline. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
