Products Equipment MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI traditionally creates a two dimensional image of a 'thin slice' of the body and it is therefore considered a tomographic imaging technique. Ultrasound Ultrasound uses high frequency broadband sound waves in the megahertz range that are reflected by tissue to varying degrees to produce (up to 3D) images. CT Computer Tomography CT is the method of imaging a single plane or slice, of an object resulting in a tomogram. X-Ray / Radiography This imaging modality utilizes a wide beam of x rays for image acquisition and is the first imaging technique available in modern medicine. Nuclear Medicine Nuclear medicine uses certain properties of isotopes and the energetic particles emitted from radioactive material to diagnose or treat various pathology. Photo-Acoustic Imaging Photo-Acoustic Imaging combines the advantages of optical absorption contrast with ultrasonic spatial resolution for deep imaging in (optical) diffusive or quasi-diffusive regime. Breast Thermography Digital Infrared Imaging Thermography is based on the principle that metabolic activity and vascular circulation in both pre-cancerous tissue and the area surrounding a developing breast cancer is almost always higher than in normal breast tissue. |
