Imaging technologies is used to detect any cancerous tumors, broken bones, and other serious injuries in a human body. It is important to understand how does the five imaging technologies work. The first imaging technology is called MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), this technology is proven to evaluate your bones, breasts, blood vessel, brain tumor, and organs in the abdomen, chest, and pelvis. MRI uses radio waves to detect your tissues and other organs inside the body. Since MRI is a powerful technology, the scanner uses force and strong magnetic to see the images of your body organs in detailed. Second is X-rays, which is told to be the oldest imaging technology. X-rays is proven to evaluate bone fractures, lungs, cancer, and swallowed items. X-rays uses radiation to

Soft tissues, such as muscles, blocks less radiation and appears darker on the film.” This explains that if your body part has hard tissue, the radiation wouldn’t go through your tissue which creates a white image. On the other hand, if your body has mushy tissue, there are less radiation which creates a darker image. The third imaging technology is a CT scans (Computed Tomography), a CT scans is also called a CAT scan and it is similar to X-rays. What’s interesting about a CT scan is that it can use different angles to capture different parts of a human body to get a precise images. This technology allow doctors to get a clear view of dissimilar perspective of the body (3-D image) such as the organs in the abdomen, pelvis, the brain, and bones. CT scans is proven to evaluate blood clots, tumors, bones, and cardiovascular disease. Next, Ultrasounds is proven to evaluate pregnancy, the heart, and soft tissue. Ultrasounds technology uses high level of frequency sound waves through a patient body in order for the doctors to examine what’s happening inside the
