# data[].attributes.body
- Noninvasive
- Produces images of the inside of the body
- The machine sends x-ray particles (photons) through the body which results in images which are recorded on a computer/film
- Uses ionizing radiation and could increase risk of developing cancer

# data[].attributes.body
- 2D images
- Dense structures (like bone) appear white in the image because they block most of the x-ray particles, metal/contrast media will also appear white
- Structures containing air appears black
- Muscle, fat, and fluid appears gray

# data[].attributes.body
- Examines bone, teeth, lungs, breasts, heart, blood vessels, and the digestive tract
- Helps diagnose medical conditions by producing an image of the inside of the body

# data[].attributes.body
- Noninvasive
- Produces images of the inside of the body
- It’s a series of x-rays taken from different angles that are combined to produce cross-section images of the bones & soft tissues
- Uses ionizing radiation and could increase risk of developing cancer
- Performed inside a large tube where the x-ray rotates around the patient

# data[].attributes.body
- Cross-sectional images
- Examines chest, abdomen, pelvis, spine, and other skeletal structures

# data[].attributes.body
- Images bone, soft tissue, and blood in order to help diagnose and treat medical conditions

# data[].attributes.body
- Noninvasive, safe
- Produces images of inside of the body
- Uses powerful magnets and radio waves (not radiation)
- Performed inside a large magnet, the machine scans the body by turning magnets on and off, radio waves are sent into the body and the machine picks up the returning radio waves and creates a picture of the scan

# data[].attributes.body
- Cross-sectional images
- Produces images of soft tissue (X-ray and CT produce images of hard tissues)

# data[].attributes.body
- Helps diagnose and treat medical conditions
- Examines brain, spine joint, abdomen, blood vessels, and pelvis

# data[].attributes.body
- Noninvasive
- Nuclear imaging test (uses tiny amounts of radioactive materials: tracers)
- Tracers are injected into the patient, the tracers are absorbed by the bones, the gamma camera picks up and records the pattern of tracer absorption

# data[].attributes.body
- 2D images
- Abnormalities of the skeleton, areas will show up darker/lighter because it is where the tracers have/haven’t accumulated

# data[].attributes.body
- Scans entire skeleton
Extremely sensitive to abnormalities/variations in bone metabolism, but cannot determine the cause of abnormalities
Helps diagnose and track bone diseases

# data[].attributes.body
- Performs diagnostic imaging examinations on patients using an MRI

# data[].attributes.body
- Uses diagnostic imaging equipment and helps physicians interpret the images created by the equipment
