Modern medicine 
It requires and utilizes numerous such instruments that can be as simple as a scalpel to as complex as a respirator or a linear accelerator.
Computed tomography (CT) 
It is a medical imaging method employing tomography created by computer processing
CT 
It produces a volume of data which can be manipulated, through a process known as windowing in order to demonstrate various bodily structures based on their ability to block the X-ray beam.
Conventional X-ray Machine 
Is a device used to generate x-rays.
Conventional X-ray Machine
This device is commonly used by radiographers to acquire a radiographic image of the inside of an object.
X-rays 
It can be generated by an X-ray tube, a vacuum tube that uses a high voltage to accelerate the electron released by a hot cathode to a high velocity.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan 
It is an imaging test that allows your doctor to check for diseases in your body.
Special Dye 
These tracers are either swallowed, inhaled, or injected into a vein in your arm depending on what part of the body is being examined
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) 
It is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body.
MRI machines 
These are large, tube-shaped magnets.
C-Arm 
It is a medical imaging device that is based on X-ray technology and can be used flexibly in various ORs within a clinic.
C-Arm 
The name is derived from the C-shaped arm used to connect the X-ray source and X-ray detector to one another.
Mammography 
It is the process of using low-dose amplitude-X-rays (usually around 0.7 mSv) to examine the human breast and is used as a diagnostic and a screening tool.
The goal of Mammography
Early detection of breast cancer.
Biomedical Equipment technician (BMET) 
It is a vital component of the healthcare delivery system.
BMETs 
These are the people responsible for maintaining a facility's medical equipment.
