Why is medical diagnostic imaging carried out?

Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities.

What are the different types of medical imaging techniques?

There are several types of medical imaging techniques available, including:

X-ray CT scan MRI scan Ultrasound

Each of these techniques has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of technique depends on the patient’s symptoms and the part of the body being examined.

What difference has medical imaging made to the medical profession?

Medical imaging has revolutionised the way doctors diagnose and treat diseases. It has made it possible to detect diseases at an early stage, when they are most treatable. Medical imaging has also made it possible to perform minimally invasive procedures, which are less painful and have a shorter recovery time than traditional surgery.
