MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a medicinal imaging procedure used in radiology to image the anatomy and the processes of the body in both health and disease. MRI is based upon the science of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). MRI is widely used in hospitals and clinics for medical diagnosis. MRI scans essentially map the location of water and fat in the body. Since its early development in the 1970s and 1980s, MRI has proven to be a highly versatile imaging technique. While MRI is most prominently used in diagnostic medicine and biomedical research, it can also be used to form images of non-living objects. MRI scans are capable of producing a variety of chemical and physical data, in addition to detailed spatial images. MRI scanners use magnetic fields and radio waves to form images of the body. MRI is the investigative tool of choice for neurological cancers, as it has better resolution than CT and offers better visualization.
Features:A CT scan is a technique to makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting. The term "computed tomography" (CT) is often used to refer to X-ray CT, because it is the most commonly known form. Use of CT has increased dramatically over the last two decades in many countries. CT scan can be used for detecting both acute and chronic changes in the lung parenchyma. CT is an accurate technique for diagnosis of abdominal diseases. CT scanning is useful to get a very detailed 3D image of certain parts of the body, such as soft tissues, the pelvis, blood vessels, the lungs, the brain, abdomen, and bones.
Features:Ultrasound is used in many different fields. Ultrasonic devices are used to detect objects and measure distances. Ultrasound imaging or sonography is often used in medicine. In the non-destructive testing of products and structures, ultrasound is used to detect invisible flaws. Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. It’s also used to help guide biopsies, diagnose heart conditions, and assess damage after a heart attack. Ultrasound is safe and it is used to diagnose the reason of pain, and infection in the internal parts of body and to examine the brain and hips in infants.
Features:X rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, as is visible light, but with some different characteristics. The important difference is that X rays can penetrate or pass through the human body and produce shadow-like images of structures such as bones, some of the organs, and signs of disease and injury. X-rays have much shorter wavelength than visible light, which makes it possible to probe structures much smaller than what can be seen using a normal microscope.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electro physiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain. It is typically non-invasive, with the electrodes placed along the scalp, although invasive electrodes are sometimes used in specific applications. EEG refers to the recording of the brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a period of time, as recorded from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp.
Features:A medical laboratory or clinical laboratory is a laboratory where tests are usually done on clinical specimens in order to obtain information about the health of a patient as pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
