Ultrasound
imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to acquire real time images
CT scan
two-dimensional image, takes longer than xray, contrast (IV) agents used (highlights tissues, organs, BV, watch for allergies)
MRI
- magnetic resonance imaging (three-dimensional)
- uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves
- DOES NOT use radiation
- contrast can be used
- takes much longer than CT
- cannot have MRI if you have any hardware (ex. pacemaker)
