Medical ultrasound

ionizing radiation for diagnosing and intervention of disease. Diagnostic Imaging uses imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray radiography, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and ultrasound to image inside the human anatomy in to diagnose abnormalities and disease. The meaning of imaging in radiology is to create a picture of the inside configuration of a thick object, in which radiology means a part of the body in profile…

Technicians may also chose to branch into Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound Technology and Radiation Therapy. This choice of career allows many different paths to concentrate your interests in while working in the same general field by adding on training for various specialties within the…

radiographer uses x-ray to create images of body parts and organs for diagnostic purposes. The diagnosis from a radiographer’s image can affect, determine the treatment and care of a healthcare team. Wide ranges of imaging methods are used these include Ultrasound, X-ray, Fluoroscopy, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Ranges of dyes or contrast agents are sometimes used to show…

MRI is a unique medical practice among other imaging methods because, unlike radiographs for example x-rays and ct scans and even radioisotope studies it does not use ionising radiation to create an image of the body this is good because if it does not use ionising radiation it will not have the effects that the radiation causes to the human body. But instead of using other means such as ultrasound to create an image it uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed digital images of the…

tool used for early detection to find small blockages in coronary arteries. CTA is so great that doctors can rule in or out significant heart disease in a matter of minutes with a 95% accuracy rate. Echocardiography is another detector involving ultrasound to evaluate the functions of heart muscle and valves. There are three types of echocardiographies: portable echo, 3-dimensional echo, and intracardiac echo. Cardiac MRI is a third type of detection of heart disease that surpasses the…

From the second grade I thought I wanted to be a Veterinarian when I grew up. Of course no one would expect a second grader to know such details, but as I went through high school my mind never strayed away from my future goal.
