medical imaging tech

Question 1

x ray

Answer 1

Uses high-energy radiation to view dense structures like bones; commonly used to detect fractures and dental issues.

Question 2

x-ray fluoroscopy

Answer 2

real-time moving images of internal structures using continuous X-ray beams

Question 3

ultrasound

Answer 3

Uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of soft tissues and organs; commonly used in pregnancy to monitor fetal development.

Question 4

Computed Tomography (CT/CAT Scan)

Answer 4

Combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to create detailed cross-sectional images; used to detect internal injuries, tumors, and vascular diseases.

Question 5

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Answer 5

Uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of soft tissues; useful for examining the brain, spinal cord, joints, and organs.

Question 6

Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

Answer 6

Uses a small amount of radioactive material to track metabolic activity in the body; often used to detect cancer and monitor brain or heart conditions.

Question 7

Biophotonics

Answer 7

Uses light to analyze interactions with cells and tissues; used for diagnosis and surgery (e.g., endoscopic procedures for internal viewing and minimally invasive operations).
