What is the difference between X-ray computer tomography magnetic resonance imaging and mammography?
Mammography is just an X-ray of the breast.
Tomography (usually "computer assisted ... OR CAT scan) is also an X-ray;
but by moving the source AND the plate (screen) in special patterns they can get a better view of internal structures than just a flat plate.
On the other hand
MRI does NOT use X-rays, it functions by distorting the electron paths of the atoms of your body (using a magnetic field) and then detecting the radio waves generated (by those atoms) as the electrons snap back into place.

What is the machine used to image the heart?
You can image the heart using: echocardiogram, Magnetic Resonance Image, Computer Tomography Scanning
Is there such thing as computer-assisted sonic tomography CAST?
Yes - it's usually shortened to Computer-Assisted Tomography - or CAT scan.
What is the full form of CT scan?
CT is computed tomography and CAT scan is computed axial tomography.
What does the C in CT stand for?
Computer Tomography
What tests are conducted in diagnosis of galactorrhea?
a series of computer assisted x rays called a computed tomography scan (CT scan) may be done. Another procedure that may be useful is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
What does the A in CAT scan represent?
'Computer-Assisted Tomography' These days it tends to be called CT which stands for 'Computed Tomography'
What is used in tomography?
Tomography is a technique used to create detailed images of cross-sections of an object, often employed in medical imaging. It typically utilizes various forms of radiation, such as X-rays, to capture images from multiple angles, which are then reconstructed into a 3D representation. Technologies such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used in this field. Additionally, algorithms and computer processing play a crucial role in reconstructing the images from the data collected.

How is lissencephaly diagnosed?
Diagnosis is usually made by neuroimaging. A computer tomography (CT ) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan shows a smooth brain with the lack of characteristic folds. MRI may delineate the band of abnormal nerve cells in the double cortex syndrome
