Input: Consider Input: The total time can have many different interpretations but usually it is interpreted as: 1 The time from entering the hospital, getting registered to the radiology department, receiving the CT exam and finally hearing from the doctor/radiologist the diagnosis based on the results. 1 Assuming that you are already inside the CT scanner ready to get scanned. CT scan without contrast (head, sinus, orbits, abdomen, pelvis, cervical, thoracic, lumbar and dental scans) take approximately 15 minutes. CT studies with contrast of the chest, pelvis, head or neck take approximately 30 minutes. The scans are reported by a radiologist after the technician finishes the scan. The time taken to read and report the scan depends upon many factors like contrast used and comparison with a previously done CT Scan. Usually the report is available within 24 hours. Visit What is CT scan. Detailed note on CT scan Tests - ChooseDoctor At our hospital, it'd be very unusual for a CT scan to take more than an hour or two to be read, most are done within 30 minutes. From there, the question is how long does it take for the report to get to the ordering doctor? If the CT is sent to offsite radiology interpretation, it might take 2, no longer than 3 days to get the report to your physician. This is what you would expect in most areas of the country. 12.3k Views View Upvoters Whereas, aortic contrast studies may take up to 45 minutes. Most cardiac CT studies will take 60 minutes. Assuming that you are not inside the CT scanner, prior to the actual scan, patient registration and meeting with the technologist takes approximately 30 minutes. The time that the procedure of the CT examination lasts and the time that the results are reconstructed in the radiologists computer. Expected time: between 5 and 30 minutes. More specifically, the scan time, the time you are actually in the machine as it acquires images, depends on a number of factors. If it was ordered as a routine versus ordering it as a stat, a routine CT results could be available within 1 to 2 days from the time of the scan was taken to a stat CT being reported within hours of the actual scan . The latest research from I-ELCAP shows that patients diagnosed with lung cancer as a result of annual CT screening have an overall cure rate of 80%, regardless of stage and type of treatment. When cancers are found at the earliest stage (85% of the patients) and are immediately removed with surgery, the research shows a cure rate of 92%. A chest x-ray shows only two views of your chest (front and side), while a CT scan shows cross-sectional images all through your chest-from the very top of your lungs through the lung bases. Thus, tiny abnormalities (that could be early stage lung cancer) can be found which would never have been seen on a chest x-ray. Query: how long does it take to report on a ct scan to your doctor?

Output: Usually it takes 24 hours to report on a ct scan.

Input: Consider Input: Depending on whether fresh strawberries are stored cut or whole, they can last for different time periods. When stored in a refrigerator, whole strawberries can last up to 7 days, while cut ones will last up to 3 days. Stored in the freezer, whole or cut strawberries can last a few months. For example, the cut fruit can last up to 4 months in a freezer. When you're ready, wash each berry differently. Blueberries can take about any method, apart from a long soaking. Strawberries, with their delicate, absorbent skin, require a little more care: Quickly swish unwashed berries in a bowl of water, move them to a strainer, then move them to paper towels, placed in single layers and let them dry. Or brandy. But if you make sure that you keep the unbruised berries out of the Tupperware, the strawberries are as fresh by the end of the week as in the beginning. I haven't picked my own since I can get a flat for as cheap as 6 dollars during peak season. In fact, that's how I learned this tip. Once the strawberries are cut, air and moisture begin to cause the strawberries to deteriorate and you must store the strawberries in the refrigerator within two hours of cutting to slow bacterial growth. An airtight container or sealed plastic bag keeps cut strawberries fresh in the refrigerator for up to three days. Freezer Fresh Keep strawberries for longer by freezing them. Freeze whole strawberries in airtight storage containers or plastic freezer bag for up to eight months. Place cut strawberries in an airtight container or plastic freezer bag and sprinkle with granulated sugar -- about a 1/4 cup of sugar for every 1/2 quart of berries. Sweetened, cut strawberries remain fresh in the freezer for up to four months before quality begins to decline. Put the clean, dry berries back in the clamshell and store them in the fridge. Make sure to leave ventilation holes in the top uncovered so air can circulate in the package. Otherwise, store the berries in a clean container lined with paper towels, with the lid ajar so condensation can evaporate. Change the paper towels if they get damp over time. This is a really good case for some types of confect, but you can't do it with most types of filling (definitely not with strawberries). Cooling from the outside gives you a beautiful shine. If you want to achieve a good shine, it is possible to put the confects in the fridge for a short time, but only after they have cooled to 20C at room temperature. Don't let them fall to fridge temperature, take them out at 15C. The continued cooling from the outside is beneficial. This shouldn't happen. Chocolate covered strawberries can be kept in the refrigerator for several days when stored properly, though ideally, you'll want to enjoy them within 48 hours. Cover them in wax paper and store them in an airtight container so that the fruit won't go bad. There are a variety of ways to store strawberries, depending on whether you want to store them for a few days or a few months. If you want to know how to store strawberries, just follow these steps. Steps Slicing the strawberries for use ahead of time shortens their storage life, but packaging the sliced berries properly helps them retain both flavor and texture to use the following day. Store them plain for fresh use in your refrigerator or place them in a sugar pack so they make their own sauce for drizzling over ice cream or other desserts. Dip strawberries (you can insert a skewer into the stem and then dip) in chocolate and then tap gently to remove any excess. Transfer to the parchment paper. Sprinkle strawberries with sprinkles, nuts, coconut flakes or leave plain. Refrigerate chocolate covered strawberries for 10 minutes until chocolate hardens. Query: how long can you keep strawberries in the fridge

Output: When stored in a refrigerator, whole strawberries can last up to 7 days, while cut ones will last up to 3 days.

Input: Consider Input: ecological design by sim van der ryn reviews, - Sim Van der Ryn and Stuart Cowan present a vision of how the living world and the human world can be rejoined by taking ecology as the basis for design. Sim van der Ryn was a pioneer in this "green design" movement, and when he was appointed California State Architect by newly elected Governor Jerry Brown in 1975, an opportunity to take these ideas to a larger scale presented itself. The most misunderstood notion in sustainable design today is the idea that it's a new thing. It's not. Sustainability is very old school and grounded in common sense. Things were pretty much sustainable until our great, great, great grandparents starting making and selling each other so much stuff. A contraction of permanent agriculture, it is an approach to developing ecological human habitats and food production systems focused not on the separate elements of climate, plants, animals, soils, and water use, but on their relationships and how they are placed in the landscape.

Paolo Soleri (1973) Arcology : the city in the image of man, MIT Press. ISBN 0-262-19060-5. Ecological Design. January 1, 1996. by Sim Van der Ryn and Stuart Cowan. Island Press, Washington, D.C., 1996. 200 pages; hardcover $40.00; paperback $19.95. Coauthors Van der Ryn and Cowan define ecological design as design that "minimizes environmentally destructive impacts by integrating itself with living processes." Ecology, they argue, should be the basis of design; it is nature's own design strategies we find when we seek to minimize environmental impacts.

Ecological design is defined by Sim Van der Ryn and Stuart Cowan as "any form of design that minimizes environmentally destructive impacts by integrating itself with living processes" (Van der Ryn, Cowan S, 1996). Ecological design is an integrative ecologically responsible design discipline. Summary: Principles of Ecological Design gives insight, inspiration, and guidance for a radical redesign of our way of life. It illuminates a way to disengage from corporate consumer culture, and create a more fulfilling lifestyle. These principles are fundamental to any green building or ecological living initiative. More than any other feature, it is the interaction of the user with the design that enables ecological design to be so much more efficient. For example, recycling requires more thought and action from people than if they put any solid they don't want in the trash, and any liquid they're done with down the drain.
