Computed Tomography is a diagnostic imaging
procedure that combines the use of x-rays with
computer technology to produce cross-sectional
images (slices) of the body. The images
produced by this can are more detailed than
those of an ordinary x-ray (or radiograph).
Ultrasound----Vascular General, obstetrical,
vascular.
Ultrasound (US) imaging, also called ultrasound
scanning or sonography, is a method of obtaining
images from inside the human body through the
use of high frequency sound waves. The reflected
soundwave echoes are recorded and displayed as a
real-time visual image. No
ionizing
radiation (x-ray)
is involved in ultrasound imaging. Obstetric
ultrasound refers to the specialized use of
sound waves to visualize and thus determine the
condition of a pregnant woman and her embryo or
fetus.
Diagnostic Radiology
Radiography, known
to most people as x-ray, is the oldest and most
frequently used form of
medical imaging. For nearly a century,
diagnostic images have been
created by passing small, highly controlled
amounts of radiation through the human body,
capturing the resulting shadows and reflections
on a photographic plate.
X-ray
imaging is the fastest and easiest way for a
physician to view and assess broken bones,
cracked skulls and injured backbones. At least
two films are taken of a bone, and often three
films if the problem is around a joint (knee,
elbow, or wrist). X-rays also play a key role in
orthopedic
surgery and the treatment of sports injuries.
X-ray is useful in detecting more advanced forms
of cancer in bones. Very early cancer findings
require other methods.
