diagnostic medical imaging

Diagnostic medical imaging involves using specialized tools to create visual representations of the inside of the body. These images help healthcare providers assess and diagnose medical conditions accurately. Techniques include X-rays, which use radiation to produce images of bones and organs; MRIs, which use strong magnets and radio waves to visualize soft tissues; CT scans, combining X-ray images for detailed cross-sectional views; and ultrasounds, which use sound waves to examine organs and blood flow. These methods are non-invasive, providing critical information to guide treatment decisions without the need for surgery.
