Types of Radiology Equipment

              Radiology, or diagnostic imaging, has become an essential tool for physicians
to help diagnose and recommend treatment for their patients. Most of the larger
diagnostic imaging centers have several types of radiology equipment for the doctor to
choose from. Each piece of equipment requires extensive training and certification by
the technicians operating the imaging device.The following four kinds are widely used
in the medical.
             MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
             MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a loud but very important machine that uses
magnetic fields and radio waves to get images of the patient. Since it does not use
radiation and produces very detailed images, MRI has become the most preferred
diagnostic imaging method by physicians. Most radiology centers have the
tunnel/traditional types of MRI machines, but there are open MRI machines for patients
who are claustrophobic.
