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.
