OTHER BEING DIAGNOSED
IMAGING PROCEDURE
(ANSWER SHOULD BE IN
BULLET FORM)

 X-rays are a type of  Cancers and tumors.

X-RAY radiation called
electromagnetic waves. X-
ray imaging creates
pictures of the inside of
your body.
 The images show the parts
of your body in different
shades of black and white.
This is because different
tissues absorb different
amounts of radiation.
 Calcium in bones absorbs
x-rays the most, so bones
look white. Fat and other
soft tissues absorb less and
look gray. Air absorbs the
least, so lungs look black.
 MR angiography (MRA)
MRA uses a powerful magnetic
field, radio waves and a
computer to evaluate blood
vessels and help identify
abnormalities. This exam
does not use radiation and
may require an injection of
contrast material.
 Magnetic resonance
MRI imaging (MRI) is a medical
imaging technique that uses
a magnetic field and
computer-generated radio
waves to create detailed
images of the organs and
tissues in your body.
 A computerized
CT SCAN tomography (CT) scan
 An enlarged heart.
 Blood vessel blockages.
 Fluid in lungs.
 Digestive problems.
 Bone fractures.
 Dislocated joints.
 Infections.
 strokes
 aortic coarctation
 carotid artery disease
 heart disease
 other blood vessel issues
 Aneurysms of cerebral
vessels
 Disorders of the eye and
inner ear
 Multiple sclerosis
 Spinal cord disorders
 Stroke
 Tumors
 Brain injury from trauma
