Study Notes
Imaging Techniques
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues, particularly effective for neurological and musculoskeletal diagnoses
- Ultrasound: uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the body's internal structures, commonly used for diagnosing abdominal conditions and monitoring fetal development
- CT Scan: provides more detailed images than traditional X-rays
- Mammography: primary purpose is for early detection of breast cancer
- DEXA Scan: commonly used for diagnosing osteoporosis
- Fluoroscopy: primary purpose is to guide medical procedures, such as inserting catheters or swallowing tubes
- Ultrasound: provides real-time images of the body's internal structures using high-frequency sound waves
