Angiography
is a type of X-Ray that is done to image blood vessels in various
parts of the body, including the heart, brain, and kidneys,
so as to determine whether the vessels are diseased, narrowed,
enlarged or blocked altogether.

Computed
Axial Tomography ("CT" or "CAT" scan) is
a way of looking inside your body using a special camera. The
images (or pictures) produced are cross - sectional, like the
slices in a loaf of bread. During a CT exam the scanner
takes multiple cross-sectional pictures of you. These pictures
are created with the help of a computer and are capable of depicting
various internal body parts in much greater detail than standard
X-Ray films. This greatly enhances the doctor's ability to diagnose
a medical condition.

A
mammogram is a special X-Ray of the breast. It is a radiological
procedure available to detect small cancers long before they
can be felt by you or your doctor. As the X-Rays pass through
the breast tissue, an actual picture of the tissue inside is
obtained. This image allows the radiologist to determine whether
or not cancer is present.

Magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI or MR) is one of the safest, most
comfortable imaging techniques available. It combines a powerful
magnet with an advanced computer system and radio waves to produce
accurate, detailed pictures of organs and tissues in order to
diagnose a variety of medical conditions.

Nuclear
Medicine is a branch of radiology that uses radioactive
materials to determine if certain organs such as the heart,
kidneys, liver, thyroid, brain and lungs are working properly.
It is also used to examine the bones for cancer, infection or
trauma.

The
X-Ray has been called one of the most significant advances
in all of medical history. It is used in many different ways
in medical diagnosis. An x-ray image is produced when a small
amount of radiation passes through the body and strikes a sheet
of sensitive film placed on the other side of the body

Your veins carry
blood from the capillaries to the heart. In your leg, this means the
blood has to flow upward, against gravity. Consequently, these veins
have one-way valves to prevent the blood from backflowing.
