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

CELLULAR RESPONSE TO IONIZING RADIATION The efficacy of diagnostic imaging resembles a double-edged sword in the medical industry. A radiographer trained to image a patient correctly must use all knowledge to keep the radiation level at its lowest and safest level to produce the best quality image possible. However‚ the radiation level still has an effect on the patient that can go unseen by the naked eye. Ionizing radiation produced by x-ray‚ gamma rays‚ alpha & beta rays‚ can have an effect

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
