MRI Images |
(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is the most sophisticated and popular medical imaging system present today. By using a strong electro-magnetic field, this system looks at the percent of water in the human body. |
Nuclear Medicine Images |
Nuclear Medicine is imaging that uses radiation emanating from inside the human body. This imaging involves a range of techniques that are designed to show physiological functions of individual organs in the body. |
Infrared / Microwave Images |
Infrared radiation may be used to examine surface vascularity and surface temperature distributions throughout the body. |
X-Ray / Angiogram/ |
X-rays are formed by the interaction of x-ray photons that are transmitted through the patient. These photons are then recorded by a detector, which in turns produces an image. |
Ultrasound Images |
Ultrasound is one of the most frequently used imaging methods in diagnostic medicine. This method uses sound to penetrate and interact with the body. |
