What types of equipment are used in cancer diagnosis?
Cancer diagnosis relies heavily on advanced medical equipment. Common diagnostic tools include the MRI machine (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT scanners (Computed Tomography), and PET scanners (Positron Emission Tomography). Each of these devices helps in visualizing the internal structures of the body, identifying abnormal growths, and assessing the extent of cancer spread. Additionally, biopsy tools, such as fine-needle aspirators and endoscopic biopsy devices, are crucial for obtaining tissue samples for histological examination.
