Imaging modalities

Imaging modalities are techniques used to visualize the interior of the body for medical diagnosis and treatment. Common types include X-rays, which create images of bones; CT scans, which provide detailed cross-sectional views; MRI, which uses magnetic fields to visualize soft tissues; and ultrasound, which uses sound waves to create images of organs. Each modality has its strengths and is chosen based on the specific condition being examined. These technologies help doctors identify issues like fractures, tumors, and other health problems, guiding them in providing appropriate care.
