Radiology in Motion

Transcript:

In the old days when doctors wanted to see inside the body, the options were, well – unpleasant. Today radiologists have far more pleasant options to look inside the body. Let’s look inside your head for a moment. To examine your bones or skull, radiologists can use a CT scan. With MRI or PET scan technologies, doctors now have the option of not only seeing your brain but seeing it work.

As you can see with today’s radiological technologies, doctors have fantastic options to look inside the body without surgery. It’s the cutting edge of medicine – without the scalpel.
