medical imaging technologies
Medical imaging technologies are techniques used to create visual representations of the interior of the body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. Common methods include X-rays, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT scans (Computed Tomography), and ultrasound. These technologies help doctors diagnose diseases, monitor treatment progress, and plan surgeries.
Each imaging method has its unique advantages. For instance, X-rays are quick and effective for viewing bones, while MRI provides detailed images of soft tissues. CT scans combine multiple X-ray images for a comprehensive view, and ultrasound uses sound waves to visualize organs in real-time, making it especially useful in prenatal care.
