Medical Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – is used to find problems such as tumors,bleeding, injury, blood vessel diseases, or infection. MRI also may be done to provide more information about a problem seen on an X-ray, ultrasound scan, or CT scan.
CT scan – unlike X-Ray provides a more detailed visual of nearly all parts of the body and is used to diagnose disease or injury as well as to plan medical, surgical or radiation treatment.
X-Ray – This provides a view of an area where a patient is experiencing pain, monitor the progression of a disease, such as osteoporosis without making any incisions.
Mammography – Mammography is specialized medical imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to see inside the breasts.A mammography exam, called a mammogram, aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
Ultrasound/ Color Doppler – the diagnostic medical imaging technique visualizes blood flow through blood vessels, muscles, tendons, and many internal organs, to capture their size, structure and any pathological lesions with real time tomographic images. This is achieved through the use of bounced sound waves.
