Uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside of the body. An MRI may show problems that can’t be seen with other imaging methods, making it a crucial tool for the prevention and treatment of disease. For some MRI procedures, a contrast material may be administered orally or intravenously to make the area of the body being scanned more visible.
Provides detailed pictures of structures inside of the body. CT scans are used to study all parts of the body, including the chest, belly, pelvis, or an arm or leg. It can also scan body organs such as the liver, pancreas, intestines, kidneys, bladder, adrenal glands, lungs, and heart, as well as blood vessels, bones, and the spinal cord.
A specialized area of radiology that uses small amounts of radioactive materials to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of many types of conditions and diseases, including cancer. These imaging procedures can provide information about the anatomy of a patient’s body and the function of their organs.
Helps with the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases and conditions, including stomach problems, gallbladder or pancreas problems, and abdominal pain. High-frequency sound waves are transmitted through body tissues with an instrument called a transducer, which transmits the information to a computer that displays the information on a monitor. Ultrasound testing is used to create images of soft tissue structures, such as the gallbladder, liver, kidneys, pancreas, bladder, and other organs and parts of the body, and it can also measure the flow of blood in the arteries to detect blockages. This method of testing is safe and easy to perform.
A noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Diagnostic imaging with X-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.
