How Are Imaging Tests Used in Cancer Diagnosis?

Imaging tests are essential tools for visualizing internal structures. Common imaging tests include:
X-rays to detect abnormalities in bones and certain organs
CT scans to provide cross-sectional images of the body
MRI scans for detailed images using magnetic fields
Ultrasound to examine soft tissues and organs
PET scans to detect metabolic activity of cancer cells
Imaging helps in determining the size, location, and spread of tumors, guiding further diagnostic and treatment plans.
