A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner. Father, being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt and trousers. Other diners watched him in disgust, while his son was calm.
After he finished eating, his son, who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took him to the washroom, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, and combed his hair.
When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that. The son settled the bill and started walking out with his father.
At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you think you have left something behind?”.
The son replied, "No, sir, I haven't."
The old man retorted, “Yes, you have! “You left a lesson for every son and hope for every father.”
The restaurant went silent.
One of the biggest honors that exists is being able to take care of our fathers and mothers who have cared for us, and all those elderly people who sacrificed their lives with their blood, sweat, tears, time, money, and effort deserve our utmost respect.

X-ray imaging, PET scans, CT scans, and MRIs are various imaging techniques that are used to capture images of the inside of the body. 🩻
X-ray
— detects bone fractures, certain tumors and other abnormal masses, pneumonia, some types of injuries, calcifications, foreign objects, or dental problems.
MRA
— Magnetic Resonance Angiography uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency waves, and a computer to evaluate blood vessels and help identify abnormalities.
MRI
— Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses a magnetic field and radio waves to take pictures inside the body.
It is especially helpful to collect pictures of soft tissue such as organs and muscles that don't show up on x-ray examinations
PET scan
— Positron Emission Tomography may be used to evaluate organs and/or tissues for the presence of disease or other conditions.
PET may also be used to evaluate the function of organs, such as the heart or brain.
The most common use of PET is in the detection of cancer and the evaluation of cancer treatment.
CT scan
— Computed Tomography is used to identify disease or injury within various regions of the body.
For example, CT has become a useful screening tool for detecting possible tumors or lesions within the abdomen.
A CT scan of the heart may be ordered when various types of heart disease or abnormalities are suspected.
