A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan captures and creates a detailed image of any part of a human body, even full body scans. Apart from a slightly claustrophobic feeling, the MRI scan procedure is quite relaxed and easy to carry out for both the patient and the radiographer operating the machine. Since its beginning in […]
Nuclear medicine imaging is gaining more and more attention in the field of medical imaging. It has proven useful in many instances. It is used in adults to detect and treat anomalies in the heart, lungs, brain, bones and other systems. Nuclear medicine imaging uses radiopharmaceuticals or radiotracers which are injected, swallowed, or inhaled depending […]
You may be wondering if purchasing and using the best quality technology with the best equipment in the market from leading brands would be able to provide you with a high return on investment. Would it make economic and practical sense to get new GE x ray machines, a Phillips MRI machine, or a Siemens […]
Since the discovery in 1901, x-ray technology has revolutionized the world of medicine. In fact, for such a significant introduction to the technological and medical world, father of radiology – Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was awarded a Nobel Prize. Along with the discovery, it was found that just like gamma rays, x-rays also cannot be seen, […]
Helium shortages when using MRI equipment can be troublesome. For those affected by shortages, Amber USA has devised a set of strategies to help make sure you don’t have to face the issues that follow in times of scarcity. The following are three tips to help minimize the impact of helium scarcity in a medical […]
A bone densitometer in the medical imaging equipment industry is actually one of the less hectic types of equipment concerning installation. However, while these equipment don’t exactly take months of preparation and planning for installation, there are still a set of steps that need to be followed. By following these steps, medical facilities can be […]
If you ever get worried about getting an MRI, it might be due to the opinion of people that have had or heard about bad experiences in the past. Not all of this is accurate and applies to the technological advancements of today. While older machines that have narrow tunnels are still used by many […]

A lot of resources were pooled in for research and many new discoveries were made as time went on. In the field of medicine also many breakthroughs benefited humanity immensely. One […]
The world has come a long way since the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel. We now live in a society where luxury is in the vicinity and all menial tasks that were once done by humans are now been done by machines. One of the fields that saw a major influence […]
Upgrading your medical imaging equipment can be a costly affair. And parting ways with your old ones to help fund your new equipment is a great move. Be that the reason for selling your equipment or something else, there are plenty of secondhand buyers out there. Including medical imaging professionals who buy used equipment and […]
MRI machines are known for producing the best soft-tissue delineation in different areas of the internal structure of human bodies. However, the images created are only as good as the MRI coils that MRI machines use. That is why it is essential to make sure that the technologists maintain and take care of the coils […]
Communication, comfort, and transparency are a crucial part of every medical imaging exam taken for patients. Patient safety and their health should be the top priority when taking these exams and is best achieved through optimal quality imaging equipment. In the medical field, it is essential to be comfortable and thoroughly informed since lack of […]
No matter what industry, technology is constantly progressing. Medical imaging equipment is no different. However, if there is an imaging technique that has experienced the most rapid evolution, it would be mammography. Over the years, mammography has evolved from analog procedures to digital detectors and is currently entering into the age of 3D medical imaging. […]
When it comes to choosing medical imaging equipment, there are a variety of options and considerations to keep in mind. Since medical imaging equipment comes with a hefty price tag, it is essential to do thorough research before making a decision on your purchase. Digital mammography is known to produce images to technologists in almost […]
CT scanners are known to produce far better image quality and detail than x-ray imaging. CT images also allow doctors to acquire very precise and detailed images of the internal structure of the body. A CT scan produces cross-sectional images of the patient which are also known as slices. The images produced by CT scanners […]
What if instead of black and white images, a medical imaging practitioner was able to acquire colored images on the tissues being scanned by an x-ray? This color imaging technique would also be able to produce more vivid and accurate pictures within the body. This technique would then be able to provide doctors and patients […]
Medical imaging is a technique with a set of procedures that allow the creation of visual representations. These visual representations describe the interior of the body of an individual. These images are then used for the clinical analysis and medical intervention of the individual. It can also identify the visual representation of the functions of […]
Computed Tomography (CT) scanning can be described as a diagnostic medical exam taken like traditional x-rays but can produce a cross-sectional image of the inside of the body. The cross-sectional images created during the CT scan can be reformatted into multiple planes and can even be used to generate 3-D images. These images can be […]
A C-Arm is a type of medical imaging equipment which is based on x-ray technology. These devices have a reputation for being incredibly flexible in various operating room procedures or even within a simple clinic. The name C-Arm was derived through the C-Arm arm the device has. The C-shaped arm is used to connect the […]
