A Historical and Qualitative Analysis of Different Medical Imaging Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth of medical science realized the need of a device which can be use to view human body from inside and which can also act as an intermediate between doctor and patient. The medical imaging system is used to take internal image of human body and various other body organs and can also perform analysis of those images. In this paper various medical imaging techniques like X-Rays, Ultrasound and Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) will be discussed on the basis of various parameters like their history, usage, type of radiation and their physical and mental side effects.

Noninvasive Stem Cell Labeling Using USPIO Technique and their Detection with MRI
Background: To date, several imaging techniques to track stem cells are used such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), Bioluminescence imaging (BLI), fluorescence imaging, CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although, overall sensitivity of MRI compared to SPECT and Bioluminescence techniques are lower, but due to high spatial reso...
متن کاملUse of imaging techniques in detection of parotid masses Location compared to surgery
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the use of cross-sectional imaging techniques verses surgery in locating parotid masses. Material and Methods: Our study was performed on patients assumed to have parotid masses from Dec 2010 to Dec 2011. Before surgery, imaging studies (Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of parotid were done. After surgery, we compared the s...

Introduction: Poor sensitivity and poor signal to noise ratio because of low injected thallium dose and presence of scattered photons are the main problems in using thallium in scintigraphic imaging of the heart. Scattered photons are the main cause of degrading the contrast and resolution in SPECT imaging that result in error in quantification. Thallium decay is ve...

Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and became more common based on its low cost, fast image procedure rate and low radiation dose compared to CT. This imaging modality improved diagnostic and treatment-planning procedures by providing three-dimensional information with greatly reduced level of radiation dose compared to 2D dental imaging modalitie...
