LDCT scan reduces radiation exposure while maintaining quality.
Ultrasound provides real-time imaging without radiation.
Doppler ultrasound shows blood flow speed, direction, and blockages.
CBCT scans offer 3D views of teeth, jawbone, nerves, and tissues.
SWE liver scan is a non-invasive ultrasound method measuring liver stiffness to assess fibrosis, aiding in early detection and monitoring of disease.
An OPG is a panoramic dental X-ray showing teeth, jaws, and structures, helping diagnose conditions and assess tooth development, including unerupted teeth.
Radiography is the imaging of body structures using X-ray, which are a form of radiation similar to visible light, radiowaves and microwaves. X radiation is a special because it has a very high energy level that allows the X-ray beam to penetrate through the body and create an image or picture.
The standard CT scan has a relatively high radiation dose,which is needed to investigate and manage certain medicadisorders.Understandably, patients who regularly undergothis procedure worry about their constant radiation exposure.
A low-dose CT scan, or LDCT scan, delivers a significantlyower dose of radiation, easing these worries. ModernRadietogy Clinicscanners, such as ones used inmeibesroffer ultra-low radiation dose scans without compromisingthe image quality. lt is a painless procedure that only takesminutes to complete.
An ultrasound scan is a medicalimaging technique that useshigh-frequency sound wavesto create real-time images ofinternal body structures, offering a non-invasive way to visualize organs, tissues, and blood flow without radiation exposure.
A Doppler ultrasound uses sound waves toproduce images of blood moving through yourcirculatory system. The images show thedirection and speed of blood as it flowsthrough your arteries or veins. They also showblood flow through your heart.
What are the types of Doppler ultrasounds?
Ultrasound, also called sonography or ultrasonography, is a noninvasive imaging testA standard ultrasound produces images, but itdoesn’t show blood fow like a Doppler ultrasound.
The different types of Doppler ultrasoundsinclude:
Color Doppler: A computer changes thesound waves into different colors to show the direction of blood flow.
Spectral Doppler: Graphical representationof blood flow over time
Duplex ultrasound: Combines traditionaultrasound pictures with Dopple!ultrasound.lt can check the width of bloodvessels and can help show blockages.
A Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) liver scan is a non-invasive, advanced ultrasound technique used to assess liver stiffness, which helps evaluate the presence of liver fibrosis or scarring. By measuring the speed of shear waves as they pass through liver tissue, SWE provides a reliable, real-time estimate of liver health—often without the need for a biopsy. This quick and painless test supports early detection and monitoring of chronic liver conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis.
A dental CBCT (Cone BeamComputed Tomography) scan isa specialized 3D X-ray tech-nique used in dentistry to create detailed images of theteeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, aiding indiagnosis and treatment planning for complexdental procedures.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
What is a CBCT Scan?
3D lmaging:
CBCT scans provide a three-dimensional view of theteeth, jawbone, soft tissues, and nerve pathways,offering a more comprehensive view than traditional2D X-rays.
A dental OPG (Orthopantomo.gram) is a panoramic X-ray ofthe upper and lower jaws andteeth, providing a wide-angleview of the entire oral andmaxillofacial region, useful for diagnosing vari-ous dental and oral health conditions. @
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
What it is:
An OPG is a type of dental X-ray that captures apanoramic (wide-angle) view of the teeth, jaws, andsurrounding structures in a single image.
What it shows:
It demonstrates the number, position, and growth ofall teeth, including those that haven’t erupted yet.
