He went back to the VA, where gastroenterologist Nooman Gilani was flabbergasted when computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans showed no sign of cancer.
"To put that into context, 20mSv is the same dose you get from three computed tomography (X-ray) scans of your chest, roughly, " she told reporters.
The technique can provide excellent, detailed images of the body's soft tissue and is an alternative to using X-ray techniques such as computed tomography (CT).
The subjects were scanned using SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) to highlight the areas of the brain that are active and inactive during the practice.

In addition, Techniques like Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are going to unravel the mystery of the neuron jungle.
Hundreds of extra hospital beds, and the opening of 10 new major hospitals are also praised, as is the 30% increase in the number of computer tomography (CT) cancer scanners.
His device will use Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), a medical imaging method in which images are produced quickly using electrodes placed around the body, to detect changes or abnormalities in the brain.
Healthcare Systems, the largest division of GE Healthcare, consists of a broad portfolio of technology businesses including Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance, Ultrasound, Monitoring Solutions, Molecular Imaging, X-Ray, Interventional, Life Support, and Home Health.
As most doctors don't know how to use those printers, hospitals need engineers to operate the printers and help convert images from computed tomography and other medical equipment to 3-D data that can be printed out.
In a lab at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, Gene-Jack Wang is injecting overeaters with a radioactive sugar solution and putting them into a positron-emissions tomography machine to see how their brains react to food.
The early use of fracking to get at reserves previously thought of as unrecoverable, shortly after the turn of the 21st century, came about after exploration companies began examining geologic formations using x-ray computed tomography, or CT scanners.
The discover section of the site provides an insight into the science behind the study of Leonardo's work, including explanations and images of infra-red, ultra-violet and my favourite, the "computed axial tomography" of some of da Vinci's work.
With the use of ground-penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography, they've unearthed evidence to suggest that a spot on the southern coast of Spain, just north of Cadiz, played host to what may have been human society's first metropolis.
When Makower examined dozens of computerized tomography scans to better understand the anatomy of the sinuses, he noticed that the sinuses "looked like a whole bunch of little arteries" and wondered if he could apply the techniques of cardiac angioplasty to the sinuses.
