MRI

MRI, also known as Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is short for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. At the beginning of this technology, it was called MRI. By the beginning of 1980s, the word NMR imaging, a new medical technology, became increasingly familiar to the public. With the installation of large magnets, some people began to worry that the letter "N" may have a negative impact on the development of magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, the word "nuclear" can easily enable hospital staff to associate the MRI room with another nuclear medicine department. Therefore, in order to highlight the advantages of this inspection technology that does not produce ionization radiation, It is also different from nuclear medicine using radioactive elements, radiology and equipment manufacturers have agreed to refer to MRI for short )".

CT

Full name: computed tomography

CT is a complete function detection instrument, which is short for the electronic computer X-ray tomography technology.

The procedure of CT is as follows: it is used to measure the human body with extremely high sensitivity according to the different absorption and transmittance of X-ray in different human tissues, then, input the data obtained from the measurement data to the electronic computer. After the electronic computer processes the data, it can take a cross-section or three-dimensional image of the body's inspected part, small lesions found in any part of the body.

Computer X-ray system (CR)

Computer X-ray photography (CR) is a mature technology for the digitization of X-ray films. It has been widely used at home and abroad. The CR system uses an imaging plate (imaging plate; IP) that can record and read X-ray imaging information by laser as a carrier, and uses X-ray exposure and information reading for processing to form a digital or flat film image. The current CR system provides the same resolution as screen photography.
