We are not RADIOLOGISTS but lets take a look on the imaging units

In this article our goal is to make you understand which imaging units make the body well, more visible! We’re going to talk about five imaging tests that health professionals use every day to gather information and pinpoint problems.?

Let’s talk about X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, and ultrasounds, how they work, and what they’re used for!

X-rays

X-rays are the most common diagnostic imaging technique, as well as the oldest.?

It is a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation that passes through most objects.

X-ray imaging is often the first imaging technique used when a patient has a problem, and they are used?ranging from looking for dental cavities to detecting cancer.?X-rays are also used in other imaging techniques, like CT scans.

CT scan

CT stands for computerized tomography. They are used for a variety of purposes, such as:?

  • Diagnosing tumors
  • Finding internal injuries such as internal bleeding
  • Discovering heart disease
  • Detecting complex bone fractures

MRI SCAN

MRI, short for magnetic resonance imaging, is a scan that uses both magnetic fields and radio waves.?

MRI scans are often used to look at soft tissues and the nervous system. They can detect things like:?

  • Damage from a heart attack?
  • Brain injuries
  • Cancer
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Stroke

PET SCAN

PET is short for positron emission tomography. A PET scan measures cells’ metabolic activity, looking at biochemical changes to tissue and organs.?

Before a PET scan, the patient must first take a radiopharmaceutical, or a drug containing a small amount of a radioactive substance. Radiopharmaceuticals can be ingested or administered intravenously.?

PET scans are mostly used to examine neurological and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancers. PET scans are able to detect most cancers before they can be seen on other tests, like CT and MRI.?

Ultrasound

There are actually two categories of ultrasound: diagnostic and therapeutic. Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to modify or destroy tissue, whereas diagnostic ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the body.

Ultrasound is used for reasons like…

  • Monitoring fetal growth and development?
  • Guiding a needle for a biopsy
  • Examining the thyroid
  • Diagnosing abdominal pain
