axial tomography‚ or CAT scan‚ medical technology that uses X rays and computers to produce three-dimensional images of the human body. Unlike traditional X rays‚ which highlight dense body parts‚ such as bones‚ CT provides detailed views of the body’s soft tissues‚ including blood vessels‚ muscle tissue‚ and organs‚ such as the brain. While conventional X rays provide flat two-dimensional images‚ CT images depict a cross-section of the body. A patient undergoing a CT scan rests on a movable table

CT Scan Machine CT scan machine (Computed Tomography) is a medical imaging method employing tomography by using a digital geometry process to generated a three-dimensional image of the internals of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation. Computed Tomography (CT)‚ actually known as computed axial tomography (CAT or CT scan) and body section roentgenography. CT scan machine is useful equipment (an important tool in medical imaging to

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography Scan (CT) Modern medical technology allows physicians to capture detailed images of the body for diagnosing and treatment planning of various health issues. Radiologists use imaging technologies to diagnose or treat diseases. Interventional radiology is the performance of medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies. Acquisition of medical imaging is usually performed by a radiologic technologist and the results are interpreted

Friday‚ May 18th‚ 2012 Importance of Technological Advancements in Understanding of Human Internal Systems Description of Technique/Technology: A computed tomography (CT) scan is a technique used for medical X-ray imaging that allows cross-sectional images of the interior body to be computerized. The images are then combined into a three dimensional image via the computer and provides detailed information. In order to capture these images‚ a patient

It is a type of scan that is used in medical settings to evaluate and come to a diagnostic conclusion of the body. This process involves the use of both strong magnetic fields and radio waves in order to produce the image needed to assess the person’s well being. The MRI scan has proven to be effective in examining different parts of the body‚ and the following are examples: Brain‚ spinal cord‚ internal organs‚ heart and blood vessels‚ bones. A normal human adult will have up to 60% of water within
Premium Magnetic resonance imaging Brain Medical imaging
Computed Tomography scan‚ also called CT or CAT scan‚ is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses X-rays of the body to get axial or horizontal images of the human body. They show detail images of the brain‚ organs‚ bones‚ and muscles. Many describe it as like slicing a piece of bread. CT scan are often used to look for tumors‚ cyst‚ or any infections within the body. It can also detect bleeding‚ blood clots‚ brain injury‚ skull damage or fractures to the body. They focus mainly for any damages to

MRI Background info Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) otherwise known as Magnetic resonance tomography (1) is a scan that uses a magnetic field‚ radio wave‚ and computer‚ to produce an image of an individual internal structure (Anatomy) (2). The body contains more than 50% of water. MRI uses super strong Magnetic field to align hydrogen nuclei or protons found in water (H2O) all over the body (1‚3‚ &‚ 4). When a person is placed into the scanning machine hydrogen nuclei or protons align
