This field encompasses a wide range of imaging modalities, including X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Medical imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, as well as in guiding treatment and surgical procedures. It is essential in the detection of tumors, fractures, and other abnormalities, as well as in assessing the function of organs and tissues. Advances in medical imaging technology have significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of medical diagnostics, leading to better patient outcomes and treatment options.
