Why use different methods of imaging ?

No health imaging scan will be finished except the prescribing medical practitioner is certain that it will not damage you.

* Human biological science is a perplexing thing that no one of us completely realises, so we try to hold all dangers to an unconditional minimum.

* Distinct modalities of imaging use different kinds of emission (e.g., MRI utilises wireless swell, PET utilises gamma rays), which have distinct characteristics. At all times, we should pick the least invasive method.

*Distinct kinds of scan entail distinct qualifications of patient discomfort. Some might need an injection of a contrast agent.
