Diagnostic scanners are medical devices used to create images of the inside of the body. They help healthcare professionals identify and diagnose various conditions by providing detailed visuals of organs, tissues, and structures. Common types of diagnostic scanners include X-ray machines, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanners, and CT (Computed Tomography) scanners. These scanners work by using different technologies to capture images. For example, X-ray machines use radiation to produce images of bones, while MRI scanners use strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues. This information is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
