Positron
Emission Tomography
Also called
PET imaging or a PET scan, is a type of nuclear medicine
imaging.
Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging that
uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose
or treat a variety of diseases, including many types of
cancers, heart disease and certain other abnormalities
within the body. more

Computed
Tomography
Also called
CT or CAT Scansprovides higher resolution images
than conventional X-rays, but generally
not as well-defined as those produced by MRI. CT uses a
computer to direct the movement of an X-ray tube to
produce multiple cross-sectional images of a particular
organ or area of the body. CT is used to detect tumors
and other conditions affecting bones and internal
organs. It is also used to detect the occurrence of
strokes, hemorrhages and infections. more

Magnetic
Resonance Imaging
MRI has
become widely
accepted as the standard diagnostic tool for a wide and
fast-growing variety of clinical applications for soft
tissue anatomy (as found in the brain, spinal cord and
interior ligaments of body joints such as the knee). MRI
uses a strong magnetic field in conjunction with low
energy electromagnetic waves that are processed by a
computer to produce high-resolution, three-dimensional,
cross-sectional images of body tissue, including the
brain, spine, abdomen, heart and extremities. more
