What are the medical imaging technologies?

1. Angiography: Irradiate the human body with X-rays to observe the distribution of blood vessels, including arteries, veins or atria.

2. Angiography: The contrast agent is injected into the heart cavity or blood vessel quickly through the cardiac catheter, so that the heart and blood vessel cavity are developed under X-ray irradiation.

3. Mammography: It uses low-dose X-rays to examine human (mainly female) breasts. It can detect various breast tumors, cysts and other lesions, which is helpful for early detection of breast cancer.

4. Magnetic resonance imaging: The internal structure of the human body can be drawn by detecting the emitted electromagnetic waves through the external gradient magnetic field.

5. Medical ultrasound examination: a non-invasive examination method to judge the physical characteristics, morphological structure and functional state of human soft tissue by using the physical characteristics of ultrasound.

Challenges of medical imaging technology;

1, the awakening of modern people's health consciousness, the aging of population structure and the increasing value of medical images in supporting clinical accurate diagnosis have all led to the surge in demand for imaging examinations.

2. The huge demand makes the investment, space and operation cost of medical imaging increase continuously. The huge workload is a severe challenge to the doctor's mental and physical strength, and it is inevitable that there will be missed diagnosis.

Opportunities of medical imaging technology;

The application of AI in the field of medical imaging is mature and has broad prospects. The application of artificial intelligence in chest imaging, neuroimaging, musculoskeletal imaging, cardiovascular imaging, breast imaging, great blood vessel imaging, image structured reporting and other clinical fields is constantly developing.
