Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnet and radio waves to look at organs and structures inside your body. Health care professionals use MRI scans to diagnose a variety of conditions, from torn ligaments to tumors. MRIs are very useful for examining the brain and spinal cord.

The Cone Beam Computed Tomography or CBCT test is an imaging technique that uses cone shaped X-ray beams to create a detailed three dimensional image of the teeth, surrounding bones, soft tissues, blood vessels, and nerves to visually assess their condition and diagnose any problems associated with them and to guide.

A bone-density test is a way to measure the strength of your bones. The test, called a DEXA scan, is a kind of X-ray. Many people get a bone-density test every few years. The main reason to have the test is to find and treat serious bone loss, called osteoporosis, and prevent fractures and disability.

CT scan Diagnose muscle and bone disorders, such as bone tumors and fractures Pinpoint the location of a tumor, infection or blood clot Detect and monitor diseases and conditions such as cancer, heart disease, lung nodules and liver masses Monitor the effectiveness of certain treatments, such as cancer treatment Detect internal injuries and internal bleeding

Mammography can be used either for screening or for diagnostic purposes in evaluating a breast lump: Screening mammography. Screening mammography is used to detect breast changes in women who have no signs or symptoms or new breast abnormalities. The goal is to detect cancer before clinical signs are noticeable.

An X-ray is a quick, painless test that produces images of the structures inside your body — particularly your bones. X-ray beams pass through your body, and they are absorbed in different amounts depending on the density of the material they pass through. Dense materials, such as bone and metal, show up as white on X-rays. The air in your lungs shows up as black. Fat and muscle appear as shades of gray.

General Ultrasound. Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. It is used to help diagnose the causes of pain, swelling and infection in the body's internal organs and to examine a baby in pregnant women and the brain and hips in infants.
