How are CT scans produced?

The term “computed tomography”, or CT, refers to a computerized x-ray imaging procedure in which a narrow beam of x-rays is aimed at a patient and quickly rotated around the body, producing signals that are processed by the machine’s computer to generate cross-sectional images—or “slices”—of the body.

What technology is used in radiology?

How MRI machines are made?

These can be made using various materials, but the basic design involves a coil of conductive wire, a cooling system, and a power supply. The coils are made by wrapping wire, constructed from filaments of a niobium titanium alloy embedded in copper, in a large loop.

Can you wear a bra during an MRI?

For women, if possible, do not wear an underwire bra (the metal can throw off the magnetic field). Sports bras are usually good and we have hospital gowns to change into if necessary. The clasps on the back of a regular bra are not a problem, but avoid wearing bras that have metal parts on the straps.

Why are MRIs so noisy?

The MRI machine uses a combination of a strong magnet, radio transmitter and receiver. When the sequences are performed, electric current is sent through a coiled wire-an electromagnet. The switching of the currents causes the coils to expand making loud clicking sounds.

Is an MRI a radiograph?

Examples of diagnostic radiology include: Radiography (X-rays) Ultrasound. Computed Tomography (CT) Scans. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans.
