Chest x-rays, skeletal films and abdominal series are among the most common images acquired for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. General Radiography - The field of radiology began nearly 100 years ago with fluoroscopy and plain film imaging. MRI doesn’t use high-energy radiation like x-rays or CT scans. MRI - A MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) exam studies the human body in a strong magnetic field producing detailed images of organs and structures within the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs in order to help diagnose tumors, investigate internal bleeding, or check for other internal injuries or damage. You may benefit from MBI if you have complex or dense breast tissue pattern.ĬT and MRI - A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images of the body. Mammograms are best for screening imaging, while MBI lets your doctor see more clearly both healthy and diseased tissue.

Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) - Molecular breast imaging is used with mammography. A mammogram is just one of the early detection tests for breast cancer. It’s used to detect and diagnose breast disease in women who either have breast problems such as a lump, pain or nipple discharge, as well as for women who have no breast complaints. Mammography - A mammogram is an x-ray examination of the breast.
