Diagnostic imaging: getting the inside view

Article Abstract:

Physicians are better able to detect disease earlier and to avoid exploratory surgery with the availability of better diagnostic imaging tools such as x-rays, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). X-rays are more commonly used to detect medical problems which include tumors, body tissue changes and bone problems. Untrasound uses high-frequency sound, no radiation, and is used to view internal organs in motion, such as a fetus.
