Computed tomography (CT) uses a thin, fan-shaped x-ray beam that rotates around the patient to produce multiple cross-sectional views of the body (tom/omeans to cu, section or slice, and -graphy means the process of recording a picture or record.
It is an imaging technique used by technicians to get real-time moving images of a patient.
The imaging technique you are referring to is likely ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs and structures inside the body. It is commonly used in medical diagnostics for its ability to provide real-time images without exposing the patient to harmful radiation.
Ultrasound imaging is the name for the use of high frequency sound waves in an imaging process used to diagnose patient illness.
A brain imaging technique called MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) may be used to evaluate the brain structure, such as looking for shrinkage in certain areas characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, a PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan may be used to assess brain function and metabolism, which can also help in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease.
American Imaging Management helps provide appropriate care in a clinical setting. They have services in Diagonostic Imaging, Cardiac Services, Specialty Drugs and Patient Safety.
Patient dose audits provide tools to evaluate patient exposure to diagnostic x-ray imaging and determine if they are appropriate.
The type of imaging chosen by the physician depends on the type of tissue being examined. If it is hard bone, they will use x-rays. For soft tissue, Doppler or MRI imaging may be preferred.
Imaging studies, including x-ray photographs, CT scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are used to analyze the patient's abnormalities or injuries before the operation in order to plan the surgery

American Imaging Management works with doctors to provide the most cost efficient care for each patient by providing only the appropriate tests and treatments for each individual. They believe in giving the patient information about costs of treatment and tests.
The agency that referred the patient for the MRI; the doctor or clinic.
Typically, imaging studies such as x rays or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) , heart tracing studies (ECG), and routine blood work are performed before surgery
