Low-Dose Radiation Imaging
Low-Dose Radiation Imaging refers to medical imaging techniques that use minimal amounts of radiation to produce images of the body. This approach aims to reduce the risk of radiation exposure while still providing clear and useful diagnostic information. Common methods include X-rays, CT scans, and nuclear medicine procedures, which are essential for detecting various health conditions.
The primary goal of Low-Dose Radiation Imaging is to balance image quality with patient safety. Advances in technology, such as improved detectors and software algorithms, have made it possible to achieve high-resolution images with lower radiation doses. This is particularly important for vulnerable populations, such as children and pregnant women.
