Types of Medical Imaging

We'll be investigating some forms of medical imaging in class on Wed. (4/25) and Fri. (4/25)

Now what are the different types of medical imaging?

-Things that analyze brain waves, even though they aren't imaging something visible, are still a form of medical imaging-

* such as electroencephalography (EEG)

Many techniques exist that take images of physical body parts...

* X-rays (Classic!)
* Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) + fMRI
* Positron emission tomography (PET)
* Computerized tomography (CAT)
* Ultrasound

endoscopy
* SPECT
* radioisotope-based techniques: nuclear medicine + flouroscopy
* thermography
* electron microscopy
* Raman spectroscopy
* image guided biopsy
* angiography
