Radiologist is the study of science that basically deals
with the diagnosis & treatment of medical conditions through images
collected of the human body and body parts through radiological technologies.
Here are some of the most prominent technologies that radiologist Las Vegas NV
use for diagnosis and treatment.
Plain or Projection
Radiography
Plain radiograph is a simple radiography technique where
x-rays are simply passed through one’s body so as to create images of it for
diagnosis of the condition. Commonly, x-ray images ae produced on silver
impregnated films, but now it is being gradually replaced with DR or digital
radiography.
Fluoroscopy
Angiography and fluoroscopy are enhanced application of
x-ray imaging technique. Here, image intensifier and a fluorescent screen is
attached to the process with addition to a closed-circuit TV system for the
purpose of real-time imaging. Fluoroscopy involves taking images of the
structures in motion for additional radiocontrast.
Magnetic Resonance
Imaging
Popularly known as MRI, it is a radiography technique where
use of strong magnetic fields is made to determine the atomic nuclei within the
bodily tissues so as to create superior imaging quality that can help doctor
make better diagnosis. MRI can be used create images in coronal, axial,
multiple oblique planes, and sagittal planes with an equal ease, and it can be
used for open sided MRI Las Vegas as well. Among all the radiography imaging
techniques, MRI is best capable of producing highest quality of imaging when it
comes to soft tissue contrast.
