Computed Tomography
A computerized X-ray imaging procedure in which a narrow beam of X-rays is aimed at a patient and quickly rotated around the body, producing signals that are processed by the machine's computer to generate cross-sectional images-or "slices"-of the body. These slices are called tomographic images and contain more detailed information about the internal organs than conventional X-rays.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
A non-invasive imaging technology used to investigate anatomy and function of the body in both health and disease without the use of damaging ionizing radiation. It is often used for disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring. It is based on sophisticated technology that excites and detects changes in protons found in the water that makes up living tissues.

Contrast Agents & Injectors
A substance used to enhance the imaged appearance of structures, processes or fluids within the body in biomedical imaging. A Medical Injector is a piece of equipment used with contrast media. It injects the substance into the body to enhance the visibility during Medical Examination or procedures.

X-rays
A form of high energy electromagnetic radiation that can pass through most objects, including the body. X-rays travel through the body and strike an x-ray detector (such as radiographic film, or a digital x-ray detector) on the other side of the patient, forming an image that represents the “shadows” of objects inside the body.
