Radiology Applications

The technology and machinery used in radiology varies from method to method. Some use radiation while others do not. The most common machines used in radiology are: what is diagnostic radiologyX-ray Machine : Uses X-rays, a kind of electromagnetic wave , to supply images of the inside of the body without having to form any incisions. CT Scanner : Uses X-ray equipment to make a sequence of cross-sectional images of the body. Often used when a doctor needs highly detailed images to review so as to spot the source of a drag , especially on soft tissue. MRI Machine : Uses a magnetic flux rather than radiation to supply images of the within of a body. Used for parts of the body that CT scanners cannot produce clear images of, like bones. Some of the diagnostic tests may require compounds to be ingested or chemicals to be injected for a transparent view of your blood veins. Other tests may require anesthesia and a scope so as for a doctor to obviously determine the matter . Interventional radiology uses imaging technology such as CT scans, MRI, and Ultrasounds to help guide medical procedures. This technology eliminates the need for surgery and scopes to diagnose and treat certain conditions. Instead, patients are often awake during the procedure or under very mild sedation.
