3rd Week

This week, despite being short, was extremely productive. On Monday, I was able to practice tracing many of the hearts, as last week I finally figured out how to pull up the files containing the MRI images. However, I still did not know how to print the images as the program is on a special computer. When drawing the hearts, I obtained the left ventricular dimensions, such as the short axis cavity area, septal thickness, etc. After getting these dimensions, I compared them with previous dimensions.
On Wednesday I practiced tracing more hearts. I finally figured out how to print out the images drawn, so I printed the short axis tracing and the long axis tracing. I was supposed to show them to Dr. Hundley to see how accurate they were, but he was too busy at the moment and could not show me. Because of this, I practiced my technique further.
