Transesophageal Echocardiography is an ultrasonic imaging technique used to evaluate heart structures. This diagnostic test is performed from inside the esophagus, and because the esophagus is so close to the heart, this technique produces clearer images than those obtained with echocardiograhy.
Some imaging uses radioactive isotopes to see various parts of the body.
Positrons are used for 'PET', a medical imaging tomography technique. The positrons are produced in the radioactive decay of Sodium 22.
The first imaging technique for the human body was discovered by Wilhelm Röntgen in 1895.
The top-of-the-line imaging technique for examination of the internal structure of a joint, especially the knee, is MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
Though power plants are, perhaps, the most important use of nuclear energy, there are a lot of others. Radioactive substances are used in for variety of industrial and technical functions. The most common of these is possibly the use of radioactive materials in smoke detectors. Also, nuclear emissions are used for measurement, such as of the thickness of things otherwise difficult to measure,, or for imaging. There are important uses for radioactive substances in medicine. Some of these are used for diagnosis, such as in imaging. Others are used in therapy. Also, whether we like it or not, nuclear energy is used in nuclear bombs.
