What Technologies Contribute to Improved Image Quality?
Several advanced technologies have significantly enhanced image quality in cancer diagnostics:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Provides high-contrast images of soft tissues, enabling detailed visualization of tumors. Positron Emission Tomography (PET): Combined with CT or MRI, PET scans offer metabolic and functional imaging, which is invaluable for cancer staging. Digital Mammography: Enhanced breast cancer detection with higher resolution and lower radiation doses compared to traditional mammography. Ultrasound: Advanced techniques like 3D and 4D ultrasound provide clearer images, aiding in the detection of various types of cancers. Computed Tomography (CT): High-resolution CT scans offer detailed cross-sectional images of the body, useful for detecting and monitoring tumors.
