Computed tomography is commonly referred to as a CT scan. A CT scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce images of the inside of the body. It shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, organs and blood vessels.
A C-Arm is often used in the operating room for surgical procedures, allowing the surgeon to see real-time imaging of the target area. C-Arms are also used for angiography and fluoroscopy. They are often used in orthopedic, cardiology, vascular, neurology, and urology surgeries. In addition, C-arms can also be used for pain management and diagnostic imaging procedures, providing real-time visualization of a patient's anatomy during surgery
PET scan vs. CT scan. Whereas CT scans take pictures from a variety of angles to show images of the patient's body organs, tissues and bones, the PET scan shows how the patient's cells react to a radiotracer, which may indicate cancerous areas. The combined PET/CT scan joins these two technologies together.
Mammography is an x-ray imaging method used to examine the breast for the early detection of cancer and other breast diseases. It is used as both a diagnostic and screening tool.
A Cath lab is equipped with state-of-the-art imaging technology used to view the arteries and check how well blood is flowing to and from the heart. In the cath lab, doctor's use fluoroscopy to see catheters move through vessels and arteries, and from there can deploy a variety of methods to diagnose and treat various diseases
X-rays use invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film or digital media. Standard X-rays are performed for many reasons, including diagnosing tumors or bone injuries.
An ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to make pictures of organs, tissues, and other structures inside your body. It allows your health care provider to see into your body without surgery. Ultrasound is also called ultrasonography or sonography. Ultrasound images may be called sonograms.
Nuclear medicine procedures are used in diagnosing and treating certain illnesses. These procedures use radioactive materials called radiopharmaceuticals. Examples of diseases treated with nuclear medicine procedures are hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, lymphomas, and bone pain from some types of cancer.
