Common medical imaging procedures include:
1. Computed tomography (CT) which uses x-rays to create cross-sectional images of the body.
2. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) which uses iodine contrast and a beta blocker to image the heart arteries.
3. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) which is an MRI technique that tracks water movement in the brain.

radiography ,an x-ray beam traces an arc at multiple angles around a section of the body. 2. Coronary (Cardiac) Computed Tomography involves the visual examination of the inside of CCTA SCAN the body organs or cavities using a lighted instrument with lenses called an endoscope 5. Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) in this form of computer-assisted radiography an iodine containing contrast medium is injected into a vein and a beta blocker is given to decrease heart rate. 3. Diffusion Tensor Imaging(DTI)
The body is exposed to a high-energy
magnetic fields ,which causes protons in body fluids& tissues to arrange themselves in relation to a field
is a variation of MRI that tracks the 6. medical
movement of water molecules along the imaging length of axons ,long processes of nerve cells that form the white matter in the brain
refers to techniques and procedures use to
create images of the human body 7. Positron 10. UltraSound Emission Scanning Tomography(PET)
high frequency sound waves produced by a
handled wand reflected off body tissues and are a substance that emits positrons into the detected by the same instrument body where it is taken up by tissues 8. Radiography
a single barrage of x-rays passes through
the body producing an image of interior structures on x ray-sensitive film 9. Radionuclide Scanning
a radionuclide is introduced intravenously
into the body and carried by the blood to the tissue to be imaged.
