brief Overview about Diagnostic Radiology Types
|
General X-ray
It is a type of electromagnetic radiation which used in the medical fields to offer clear images of bones, tissues and air.
Nuclear Medicine
Named by nuclear regarding to the nucleus of an atom which is the source of of radiation emitted from radioactive materials.It is one of the most applications
in the medical fields where it used radioactive materials absorbed by human body through the vien or mouth. Then the imaging of body part will start under machine called gamma.
Computed Tomography
It is a circular shaped machine. it consists of X-ray beam circles around the body part to give us anatomical image.
Ultrasound
It is a techonology used ultrasound waves in medical imaging. It used sound waves with frequancies more than 20khz(more than the frequancies which heard by human hearing). Its principle depends on incident and reflected sound waves by the body.
Angiogram
It is a branch of modern medicine which kept going on with medical development.Its applications depends on pushing the contrast (dye) into the target area to give us good visualization of abnormality.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
It is a golden standard for imaging in this time. this imaging combines the computer technology , magnetic field and radiowaves to produce 2D image of the body part .
