What Types of Radiographic Imaging are Commonly Used?
Several types of radiographic imaging are commonly used in epidemiology, including: - X-rays: Widely used for detecting bone fractures, infections, and tumors. - Computed Tomography (CT) Scans: Provide detailed cross-sectional images of the body, useful in diagnosing complex conditions. - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Offers high-resolution images of soft tissues, crucial for detecting neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. - Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scans: Used to observe metabolic processes and detect cancerous growths.
