Imaging Modalities Comparison
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) can image depths ranging from 10 cm to 30 cm with a resolution of millimeters.
- X-rays can image depths of up to 5 cm with a resolution also in millimeters.
- Ultrasound imaging has a limited depth penetration of approximately 1 cm, but offers a higher resolution of about 100 microns.
