X-RAYS

Anxiety

Claustrophobia

The X-RAY can alter molecules in the body, there is potential that the patient can develop cancer from over expose

MRI

Patients who have metal implants can not be exposed to MRI and some may experience anxiety from claustrophobic environment presented by the machine.

MRI scans

Uses magnetic field instead of radiation.

PET procedures

Patients are injected with a low dose of radiation known as radio-pharmaceutical that is traced by the PET scanner.

X-RAY

Computer Axial Tomography

Also known as CAT scans

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Also Known As MRI scans

Positron Emission Tomography

Also Known As PET procedures

X-RAYS

They are used to see if you have a broken or fractured and can also be used for bone deficit disorders.

CAT scans

Used to view bone. muscle, tumors and blood vessels.

MRI Scans

To diagnose spinal cord injury, brain, and nervous system disorders.
