Medical scans are amazing tools that let us as practitioners see inside the body without surgery:
๐-๐ง๐๐ฎ (1895 ๐๐๐จ๐๐ค๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฎ): Uses radiation to quickly show bones, teeth, and chest images. Perfect for spotting fractures and lung issues.
๐พ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ (๐พ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ช๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ค๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐๐ฎ): A powerful series of X-rays taken from different angles to create 3D cross-sections of the body. Great for detecting tumours, internal bleeding, or organ damage.
๐๐๐ (๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ฃ๐): Instead of radiation, it uses magnets and radio waves to capture highly detailed images, especially of the brain, muscles, and soft tissues.
