What Role Do Physical Controls Play in Cancer Diagnosis?
Physical controls are not only used in treatment but also play a crucial role in the diagnosis of cancer. Some of the commonly used diagnostic techniques include:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body's internal structures, helping to identify and assess tumors. Computed Tomography (CT): CT scans use X-rays to create cross-sectional images of the body, providing detailed information about the size, shape, and location of tumors. Ultrasound: This imaging technique uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal organs and tissues. It is often used to guide needle biopsies and monitor tumor response to treatment.
