What is BMRIT – Medical Radiology and Imaging Technology?

Medical Radiology and Imaging Technology are the techniques of radio imaging that help in the study of the internal pictures of human body parts and organs for clinical purposes. So, some of the radiology and imaging techniques are X-ray, C T Scan, MRI, and Ultrasound. Moreover, these techniques help in diagnosing diseases and investigating the medical issues related to the human body’s physiology as well. Additionally, radiography is also used in treating tumours and cancers.

Various Radiography and Imaging Technologies

1. X-Ray: X-Ray is an imaging test commonly used to create pictures to view inside the human body to diagnose and treat medical conditions.
2. MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a technique of detecting brain tumours, brain injuries, stroke, dementia, developmental anomalies, etc. by using powerful magnetic fields and radio waves.
3. CT Scan/CAT Scan: The Computerized Tomography Scan is a technique to detect complex issues related to joints and bones problems, fractures, tumours, cancers, heart diseases, internal injury, and bleeding, etc.
4. Angiography: An angiography or angiogram is an x-ray imaging technique to monitor the heart’s blood vessels such as arteries, veins, heart chambers to detect the issues with the heart.
5. Ultrasound: Ultrasound or Sonography is a diagnostic imaging technique using high-frequency sound waves to monitor the parts inside the human body during the surgery, diagnosing certain conditions, or monitoring the unborn baby.
6. DEXA Scan: DEXA or Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry is a bone density scan to check the calcium and minerals in the bones and to measure the bone mass, by using two X-ray beams.
7. Mammography: Mammography is an imaging technique to check breast cancers, tumours, or any tissues abnormalities in the breast.
