In continuing with the research theme for my paper, I stumbled upon this website, http://www.imaging.robarts.ca/~lgardi/html/what_are_fractals.html that explains what fractals are, where they can be found, and some links that they have to medicine. Since I am heading in the direction of how fractals are used in medicine for my paper, it is imperative that I gather the most basic information about fractals as well as the more detailed information. Not only can fractals be used to grade cancer, but there is a suggestion that the more intact your personal fractals are, the better you are mind, body, and spirit.
There are many different ways to use fractals in the medical world, so I will try to make my paper touch on some of the more important aspects of that, as well as some of the less conventional ways there are used. All the while, I will be included mathematical terms, equations, etc... to give a better understanding of how they are used.
Here is a video (simulated) that shows how the human bronchi can be called fractals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsb6iqbNC8s
