MEDICAL INSTAGRAM's (MRI & X-RAY)

The uses?

Used to find if a patient has medial conditions such as heart disease, brain abnormalities, cancer spread, infection. bone and thyroid disease.

MRI Scans

To diagnose spinal cord injury, brain, and nervous system disorders.

Used to view bone. muscle, tumors and blood vessels.

They are used to see if you have a broken or fractured and can also be used for bone deficit disorders.

Recall the four modern image tools?

Positron Emission Tomography

Also Known As PET procedures

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Also Known As MRI scans

Computer Axial Tomography

Also known as CAT scans

How the different tools are used for diagnostics?

PET procedures

Patients are injected with a low dose of radiation known as radio-pharmaceutical that is traced by the PET scanner.

MRI scans

Uses magnetic field instead of radiation.

They are more detailed and can view organs and soft tissue.

Is a form of electromagnetic radiation that has a high beam that passes into the soft tissue and not passing through. The tissue is shown as a light gray and the bone is shown as white.

Advantages?

PET scans

Finds out medial conditions if you have them.

Doesn't expose patients to radiation

X-RAY

Shows if you broke your bone

CAT scans

It can scan over. It can visibly show tissue for diagnostics through computer enhanced imaging.

Uses 360

Drawbacks?

PET Scans

Cancer from over dosage of radiation

CAT Scans

MRI

Patients who have metal implants can not be exposed to MRI and some may experience anxiety from claustrophobic environment presented by the machine.

X-RAYS

Anxiety

Claustrophobia

The X-RAY can alter molecules in the body, there is potential that the patient can develop cancer from over expose
