Top Radiography Technologies Used by Radiologists


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.
