at the evolution of Computerized Tomography (CT) technology from its inception in the early nineteen seventies (1970’s) to its present day incarnation. The acquisition time for a single slice on a typical first generation CT scanner was approximately four hundred and twenty seconds. Scanners of today can easily cover an area from the apex of the lungs to the tip of the toes in about twenty-five seconds. To clarify how dramatic this rapid change in CT technology is‚ let us compare it to advances in

imaging procedures‚ each of which uses different technologies and techniques. Computed tomography (CT)‚ fluoroscopy‚ and radiography ("conventional X-ray" including mammography) all use ionizing radiation to generate images of the body. Ionizing radiation is a form of radiation that has enough energy to potentially cause damage to DNA and may elevate a person’s lifetime risk of developing cancer. CT‚ radiography‚ and fluoroscopy all work on the same basic principle: an X-ray beam is passed through

radio frequency is briefly turned on. The radio frequency absorbs the hydrogen nuclei or proton‚ which stimulates spinning. Energy is released after the spinning is complete. The released energy emits signal that are picked up by the coil in the MRI scanner. The signal released is the anatomy or internal structure being scanned. The signal is then sent to a computer‚ which converts it‚ and generate image of the scanned internal structure (1‚ &‚ 6). The MRI is one of the best and highly rated medical

Abstract The demand for advanced imaging of internal body issues has been on the rise with the increase of cancer cases in the past decade. This has called for techniques such as mammography‚ sonography‚ radiation therapy‚ nuclear medicine‚ MRI‚ CT scans‚ industrial radiography‚ mammography‚ Interventional radiography and Cardiac Catheterization. Each of these techniques has their own advantages as well as limitations. Because of this‚ they are often used as ancillaries of each other. However
