Medical imaging refers to technologies such as ultrasound, X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and PET scans that are used to view the inside of the body and diagnose, monitor, or treat medical conditions. Different imaging modalities provide different information about areas of the body by detecting possible disease, injuries, or evaluating treatment effectiveness. Medical imaging allows doctors a window into the human body and plays an important role in diagnosing conditions like COVID-19, with chest CT scans correctly diagnosing it 89.9% of the time in those infected. Patient and staff safety depends on the specific device and method used.

Introduction

2. Definition
• Medical imaging refers to several different technologies that are used
to view the human body in order to diagnose, monitor, or treat
medical conditions. Each type of technology gives different
information about the area of the body being studied or treated,
related to possible disease, injury, or the effectiveness of medical
treatment.

3. Medical imaging is the window for doctors to human body

4. Medical Imaging
• Diagnostic
• Ultrasound
• X-ray
• Mammography
• Dexa Scan
• CT (computed Tomography)
• PET/CT
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
• Therapeutic

7. -Pooled results showed that chest CT correctly
diagnosed COVID-19 in 89.9% of people who
had COVID-19
- Correct diagnosis of COVID-19 with chest X-
rays ranged from 57% to 89%.

8. Medical Imaging
• Safety (patient and staff)
• Depends on the device and the method.
• Biomedical image processing is similar in concept to biomedical signal
processing in multiple dimensions. It includes the analysis,
enhancement and display of images captured via x-ray, ultrasound,
MRI, nuclear medicine and optical imaging technologies.
• Digital imaging
• Licensing
