X-ray is the “standard” for medical industry in 1972‚ with GE and Picker as the market leaders in US. Although CT scanner is potentially a disruptive innovation to transform diagnostic imaging‚ its success relies on high adoption rate by hospitals and reputable medical professionals. What EMI needs to do is to establish CT scanner as the “new standard” for diagnostic imaging‚ and licensing the technology

Application Of Physics In Medicine Medical physics is generally speaking the application of physics concepts‚ theories and methods to medicine. A medical physics department may be based in either a hospital or a university. Clinical medical physicists are often found in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology‚ Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Oncology. However‚ areas of specialty are widely varied in scope and breadth e.g.‚ clinical physiology‚ neurophysiology (Finland)‚ and audiology

Both tests use computers to construct pictures to view within the body. Both of these tests are non-invasive procedures designed to provide medical professionals with a better understanding of the patient’s condition. There are‚ however‚ inherent differences

Although different from other branches of radiologic technologies‚ medical diagnostic sonography‚ or ultrasonography‚ is still a diagnostic imagine procedure utilized to visualize internal areas and organs of the body. Sonography and radiology allow the doctors to see inside of the body that could only be seen through surgical procedures otherwise. The people within this discipline are trained and certified to handle and operate the advanced equipment. However‚ they cannot be lucrative in this line
