General x-rays
Conventional x-rays have been used over the last century to produce medical images. Plain film radiography and fluoroscopy procedure are still used commonly today to produce quality diagnostic images. The X-ray process is completely painless and only requires the patient to maintain a set position for a short period of time when the radiograph is taken.
Recently we changed from a conventional system of using x-rays films to a new digital system that uses plates to detect the x-rays this allows for a higher quality diagnostic image.
Computerised Tomographgy
CT Scanning or Computerised Tomography is a method of acquiring images transversely through a particular region of your body. The process only requires that the patient lie down and remain still while the images are being taken. An x-ray tube is rotated around your body with the x-ray beam being projected through your body and measure on the other side. These measurements are then used to produce diagnostic images.
Mammography
Mammography is a specialised X-ray of the breast tissue using low wavelength x-radiation to show small differences in tissue density, as occurs in breast carcinoma. Mammography is critical in the early detection of breast cancer, sometimes allowing detection long before any clinical signs of malignant growths.
Ultrasound
The ultrasound machine uses sound to acquire information on structures within the body. Sound waves are projected into the patient then the ultrasound machine listens for echoes returning from different structures in the body. The computer generates an image from these returning echoes and creates a visual representation of the anatomy being viewed.
