MDCT A multi-detector (or multi-slice) computed tomography scan, also known as MDCT, CT or CAT scan, uses a special type of x-ray to obtain information from different angles around the body. Computers process the information and create cross-sectional images that appear as "slices" of the body and organs. more… |

MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combines an advanced computer system, radio waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide remarkably clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. more… |

Ultrasound
Also called sonography, ultrasound is a simple imaging procedure that bounces high-frequency sound waves off parts of the body. The reflected echoes are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. more… |
