Advances in Body-Scan Imaging Technologies
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing the technology involved in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Though medical imaging technology seemed to languish for nearly a generation without much technological advance beyond that which allowed the creation of various approaches, the continuing evolution of the entire health care system seems to be creating an environment in which additional technological advance not only is encouraged but then embraced when it emerges. Managed care’s “bean counting” approach to finance discouraged imaging advance in past years, but ultimately may well be the single most important factor in continuing technological advance in imaging techniques. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
