Study Notes
Imaging Studies Overview
- Ionizing electromagnetic radiation is utilized in X-ray imaging studies.
- CT scans (Computed Tomography) are commonly requested in emergency rooms to detect internal bleeding.
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) does not produce radiation; instead, imaging is created using a strong magnetic field.
- X-rays are primarily requested to diagnose fractures and other bone-related medical conditions.
- CT scans combine multiple X-ray images taken from various angles, creating a detailed cross-sectional view of the body.
- MRI is considered the best imaging study to observe musculoskeletal disorders, including joint injuries and soft tissue pathologies.
