Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic imaging uses advanced scanning techniques like X-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds to visualize internal structures, helping doctors diagnose and monitor medical conditions accurately.
What is diagnostic imaging?
Diagnostic imaging is a medical technique used to visualize the inside of the body to diagnose injuries, diseases, or medical conditions. It includes X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds to help doctors make accurate assessments.
