MEDICAL IMAGING: Overview
CT/MRI/PET
CT - computed tomography use X-rays to make detailed pictures of structures inside the body and used to study parts of the body and body organs.
MRI - magnetic resonance imaging uses RF waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide pictures of internal organs and tissues
PET - positron (nuclear) emission tomography measures body functions, such as blood flow, oxygen use, and sugar (glucose) metabolism.

Ultrasound/X-Ray
Important tools in medical diagnostics, providing an accurate representation of the internals of a human body, and images of movement in the body.
