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

Magnetic
Resonance Imaging, (MRI), The
basic design
of an MRI machine resembles a cube, typically measuring
7 feet tall by 7 feet wide by 10 feet long, although new
models are rapidly shrinking. There is a horizontal tube
running from front to back through the center of the
machine which houses an extraordinary strong magnet.
This tube is known as the bore of the magnet. more

Computed
Tomography (CT or CAT) Scans provides 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
