Introduction to Medical Imaging

Uses of medical imaging

Obtain information about internal bodyorgans or the skeleton to determine a patient’s physical state.

NON Invasive

Imaging Modalities:

* X-ray (plan , Dental, Panorama, Mammo, Angio, …)

* C.T * Ultrasound

* MRI * Gamma Camera

* PET SPECT

3) Slices

• Trans axial - plane normal to a vector from head to toe. • Coronal - plane normal to a vector from front to back • Sagittal - plane normal to a vector from left to right. • Oblique - a slice that is not (at least approximately) one of the above.
