Musculoskeletal Imaging Modalities

Which imaging modality uses the principle of differential absorption of X-rays by various tissues within the body?

Which imaging modality emits sound waves that penetrate the body and reflect off internal structures?

Which imaging modality is primarily used for imaging soft tissues, such as muscles and tendons?

Which imaging modality is known for being quick, non-invasive, and cost-effective?

Which imaging modality is used to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body?

Ultrasound in Skeletal Imaging Principle: Transducer emits sound waves that penetrate the body and reflect off internal ______

Ultrasound in Skeletal Imaging Advantages: non-ionising technique (pregnancy and ______) primarily used for imaging soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons. real-time ______ (movement, and guiding procedures).

Imaging Modalities: X-ray, Ultrasound, Computed tomography (CT), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Bone radioisotope scan, A single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT –CT), A positron emission tomography scan (PET-CT), DEXA, ______.

The principle of X-ray Imaging: differential absorption of X-rays by various tissues within the body. denser structures, such as bones, absorb more X-rays and appear lighter less dense tissues like muscles and fat absorb fewer X-rays and appear ______.

Ultrasound in Skeletal Imaging Principle: Transducer emits ______ waves that penetrate the body and reflect off internal structures.
