Abuse of Discretion

1. Choose 3 different types of evidence from chapter 9 (USE ballistics, blood and body fluids, and fingerprints). Discuss the importance of each, how an investigator would collect each, and determines the admissibility as acceptable evidence.
2. Compare and contrast the tests used by courts to determine the admissibility of expert witness testimony.
3. What is meant by “abuse of discretion”.
Please do all three questions in separate paragraphs.

9. Nuclear Medicine: Brain Scintigraphy

This paper will compare the use of radiopharmaceutical used in brain death imaging in nuclear medicine. The focus is on radiopharmaceutical that cross the blood brain barrier such as Tc-99m HMPAO and Tc-99m EDC vs. Tc-99m DTPA and Tc-99m Pertechnetate. How they are different in terms of physiology and the effect of it on images and how they are interpreted (i.e. false positive and false negative studies)
– I attached some of the articles on the topic\
– This should be constructed as a research scientific article; with an abstract, introduction, methods, results and conclusion
– Column form format with pictures, graphs and tables to support information
– Some articles to use:
