MRI / Open and Closed

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to provide pictures of organs and structures inside the body. In many cases, MRI provides information that cannot be obtained from an X-ray, ultrasound, or CT scan. The main contrast medium for MRI is Gadolinium.

CT/CAT

A CT scan is a special type of X-ray that uses a computer to combine many separate x-rays to produce detailed pictures of structures inside the body. A CT scan is also called a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan.

Nuclear Medicine - PET Scans

Positron Emission Tomography (or PET scan) is a nuclear scanning test. During a PET scan, a radioactive substance called a tracer is combined with a chemical substance and either inhaled or injected into a vein. The tracer emits tiny, positively charged particles (called positrons) that produce signals. A special camera records the tracer's signals as it travels through the body and collects in organs. A computer then converts the signals into three-dimensional images of the examined organ. PET scans provide information about an organ's function (metabolism).
