Imaging

Diagnostic Medical Imaging is a common technique to visualize physical diagnosis among the clinical community. Techniques that fall under the medical imaging umbrella include:

• Radiography (X-rays)
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Computed tomography (CT)
• Fluoroscopy
• Ultrasound
• Echocardiography, and
• Nuclear medicine, such as PET.

For diagnostic purposes, these systems are used to image the body to obtain a correct diagnosis and determine future care. Rapid advancements in technology and changes in health-care reform necessitate a mindful approach in order to end up with the correct system for your facility’s needs.
