Front

What is X-Ray imaging?

Back

A medical imaging technique that uses small, focused doses of high energy radiation to create images of the inside of the body, casting a 'shadow' on sensors.

What is MRI?

Back

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses a very strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues inside the body.

What is CT?

Back

Computed Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that combines X-ray images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues.

What type of imaging uses a very strong magnetic field?

Back

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a very strong magnetic field to generate images.

Front

What is the primary use of X-Ray imaging?

Back

X-Ray imaging is primarily used to view the structure of bones and detect fractures.

Front

What is the difference between CT and MRI?

Back

CT uses X-rays to create images, while MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves.

What is the main advantage of using Ultrasonography?

Back

Ultrasonography is non-invasive, does not use ionizing radiation, and provides real-time imaging.

Front

What type of imaging is best for soft tissue evaluation?

Back

MRI is best for evaluating soft tissues due to its high contrast resolution.
