Diagnostic Medical Imaging Innovation and Imaging Methods of improving the acquisition‚ display and interpretation of diagnostic medical images have been in a constant state of innovation since the discovery of x-ray in eighteen ninety-five (1895). The biggest changes have occurred along with and largely because of incredible advancements in computer technology. Medical imaging developers have harnessed computer technologies to perform tasks that have helped shape the typical diagnostic imaging department

a Radiologist. A radiologist uses medical imaging technologies to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases. Originally it was the aspect of medical science dealing with the medical use of X-rays emitted by X-ray machines or other such radiation devices for the purpose of obtaining visual information as part of medical imaging. Due to the extensive training radiologists traditionally receive in medical image interpretation‚ radiologists now also direct other imaging technologies (such as ultrasound‚

History and Science Behind MRI: Open or Closed Case? Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been called one of the most comprehensive and efficacious diagnostic imaging modalities in medical history. It became a viable clinical technique in 1982 and during its relatively short lifetime has become the primary imaging modality for investigations of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ spine‚ cancellous bone‚ and joints. It is widely used for the identification and staging of tumors‚ investigations of large
