Other than the fact that it creates an image of your body for medical purposes...absolutely nothing.
Xray uses ionizing radiation (the potentially harmful kind) which passes through your body. Some of it comes out the other side and reacts with a detector that is behind your body. This creates an image by reflecting how much of the radiation passes through. This is dependent upon what type of tissue it is passing through. Bone, for example, will not allow as much to pass through as soft tissue such as fat or muscle.
MRI is very different and quite complicated. It creates images by measuring the way hydrogen molecules in your body react to a magnet. One of the magnets is switched on and off rapidly and the reactions of the hydrogen molecules will depend upon what type of tissue is there. Hydrogen molecules in fat, for example, are attracted to the magnet very quickly, while hydrogen in water will move more slowly. This is the concept used to get images. It does not use the harmful type of radiation like Xray.
What else can I help you with?
What are the responsibilities of radiologists?
To do CAT scans and MRI scans on people so you can diagnose them with a disease
What field includes CAT (computerized axial tomography) scans and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans as diagnostic tools?
CAT scans and MRI scans are useful for a wide variety of medical investigations; the MRI in particular is very useful for neurological examinations, since it is otherwise very difficult to examine the brain in any detail. CAT scans can be used for all sorts of things, to investigate illness or injury in any part of the body. I had one recently for a kidney stone.
What type of medical imaging would best be used to diagnose epileptic seizures?
CAT scans and MRI scans are often used.
What field includes cat and MRI scans as diagnostic tools?
The field is known as Radiology or Diagnostic Imaging.
How is echinococcus diagnosed?
CT Scans - MRI Scans
What field includes CAT scan and MRI scans as diagnostic tools?
The field is known as Radiology or Diagnostic Imaging.
How do cat scans use electromagnets?
CAT Scan does not use electromagnets, its MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) which uses Electromagnets to produce images of the patient's body.
What technology came from the space race?
Scratch-resistant lenses, cordless power tool, CAT and MRI scans, and freeze-dried food
What are the machines which are used to understand science behind human vody?
It depends on what you want to know? X rays,MRI scans,CAT SCans are all things that can help teach us the things about the body.
How does mri scans help people?
find it lol
What is a cat scan doctor called?
A doctor who specializes in interpreting CAT scans, also known as CT scans, is called a radiologist. Radiologists are medical doctors trained to diagnose and treat diseases using imaging techniques, including CT, MRI, and X-rays. They analyze the images produced by the scans to provide insights for patient diagnosis and treatment.
What are non invasive imaging techniques?
Anything that doesn't require them to cut you open to take a look. Examples are X-rays, CAT scans, sonograms, MRI, etc.
