Imaging Tests
Imaging tests are medical procedures that create pictures of the inside of the body to help diagnose health conditions. Common types include X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasounds. These tests allow doctors to see organs, tissues, and bones, helping them identify issues like fractures, tumors, or infections.
These tests are generally non-invasive and can be performed in hospitals or specialized imaging centers. Depending on the type of test, patients may need to follow specific instructions, such as fasting or avoiding certain medications. The results are analyzed by radiologists, who provide reports to the referring physician for further evaluation.
