Q 1. <strong>Computer Tomography (CT) scan</strong>
Ans 1. <p>Provides detailed X-ray images taken from different angels around your body and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body.</p>
Q 2. &lt;strong&gt;DEXA scan (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry)&lt;/strong&gt;
Ans 2. <p>A DEXA scan is an imaging test that uses small amounts of radiation to measure how dense your bones are.</p>
Q 3. &lt;strong&gt;General radiology (X-ray)&lt;/strong&gt;
Ans 3. <p>The most commonly used imaging technique to produce images of the inside of your body, allowing us to visualize and diagnose medical conditions or injuries.</p>
Q 4. &lt;strong&gt;Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)&lt;/strong&gt;
Ans 4. <p>Creates a cross-sectional image of organs and body structures using a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy.</p>
Q 5. &lt;strong&gt;Mammography (mammogram)&lt;/strong&gt;
Ans 5. <p>A mammogram is an X-ray picture of the breast. While 2D digital mammograms are the industry standard for imaging breast tissue, 3D mammograms provide multiple X-rays of the breast from different angles – resulting in a complete, digital representation.</p>
Q 6. &lt;strong&gt;Ultrasound (ultrasonography)&lt;/strong&gt;
Ans 6. <p>A medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images from identified areas of the body.</p>
