Scans are diagnostic medical procedures that use specialized equipment to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures. They play a crucial role in identifying and diagnosing various health conditions. Common types of scans include X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasound scans. X-rays use low-dose radiation to visualize bones and some soft tissues. CT scans provide cross-sectional images for in-depth examination. MRI scans use powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of soft tissues and organs. Ultrasound scans employ high-frequency sound waves for non-invasive imaging.
