Mammography is a type of low-dose X-ray of the breast. It reveals masses and micro-calcifications within and around the breast that may indicate breast problems.
MRI is an advanced medical imaging procedure that uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to create cross-sectional images.
Computed tomography (CT) helps differentiate between healthy and diseased tissue in any part of the body, making it possible to accurately diagnose many diseases at an early stage.
A bone density scan (DEXA) measures the density and mineral content in bone, most often in the hip or lower spine.
Ultrasound uses sound waves and a computer to create images of internal organs and blood vessels and to monitor health conditions.
X-ray is the most frequently used form of medical imaging worldwide. It is used to diagnose disease, monitor therapy and identify potential problems throughout our bodies – it can be performed anywhere from head to toe.

PET/CT is a specialized type of nuclear imaging. Its primary use is in the evaluation of cancer. Less common uses include neurological and cardiac evaluation.
A bone density scan (DEXA) measures the density and mineral content in bone, most often in the hip or lower spine.
Computed Tomography (CT) is a sensitive diagnostic tool that uses X-rays to take a series of two-dimensional cross-sectional images ('slices') around an axis. It has been in widespread use since the 1970s and is used to image many diseases and injuries.
Nuclear medicine uses very small amounts of radioactive materials (also called radiopharmaceuticals) to diagnose and treat disease.
Ultrasound uses sound waves and a computer to create images of internal organs and blood vessels and to monitor health conditions.
