  1. 4 Common Types of Diagnostic Imaging

  2. What’s Diagnostic Imaging? • Diagnostic imaging refers to the technologies that create visual representations of the internal structures and organs of the human body. • These imaging techniques help healthcare professionals diagnose and monitor medical conditions. Some popular types are as follows.

  3. Computed Tomography (CT) • CT scan uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. • It provides a more detailed view than a traditional X-ray and can produce images of organs, bones, and soft tissues.

  4. Digital Mammography • Digital mammography is a specialized X-ray imaging used to examine the breasts. It is primarily used for breast cancer screening and detection. • Digital mammography offers enhanced image manipulation, storage, and transmission compared to traditional mammography.

  5. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) • MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to generate detailed images of the body's internal structures. • MRI provides high-resolution images of soft tissues like the brain, spinal cord, joints, and organs.

  6. Interventional Radiology (IR) • IR utilizes techniques like X-ray, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, or CT scans to guide the placement of small instruments or devices within the body to diagnose and treat various conditions. • IR procedures often offer a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery, thus resulting in reduced risks and improved patient outcomes.
