DPT Lecture 1 Radiology

Medical imaging allows physicians to see inside the body without surgery through various modalities like x-rays, CT scans, MRI, and ultrasound. Key aspects of image quality are contrast, resolution, and reducing noise. The modality used depends on providing specific anatomical and physiological information sensitively while being safe, available, and cost effective. Each modality employs different technology like x-rays, radio signals, or radioactive tracers to generate images.

Medical Imaging

For DPT Introductioon


By Dr. Muhammad Arshad
Manzoor
What is medical imaging

It is Looking within a living body


without opening it
A New Kind Of Ray
First X-ray
Development
Image Quality
• Contrast
– Substantial difference between the shades of
gray.
• Resolution
– Sharpness of the image
• Noise
– Unwanted shadows spoiling the image
Requirment of Physcian.
• An image which gives you specific
information regarding anatomy and
physiology.
• It is sensitive enough to pick up the subtle
deviation from in the normal (pathology.)
Imaging Modalities
• Radiographs & Mamograms
• Fluoroscopy
• CT Scan
• Ultrasound
• MRI
• Nuclear medicine ( radio isotope scan)
Each modality use different probes
• X-rays
– Radiography & Mamography
– Fluoroscopy and Contrast studies.
– CT scan.
• Ultrasound
– Ultrasound and Doppler scan
• Radiosignals
– MRI
• Radioactive emision ( Gamma rays)
– Isotope scaning
Radiograph
Fluoroscopy
Digital Subtraction
CT Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Nuclear Medicine
Isotope scaning
Endoscopy
• How helpful is the examination in patient
management.

• Radiation Hazards
• Expensive equipment.
• Cost of examination.
Choosing Modality
• Specific
• Sensitive
• Readily avalaible
• Safe
• Cost affective
