Radiology Equipment

Radiology is a medical specialty that uses an array of imaging technologies to diagnose and treat diseases. Radiology equipment allows this to occur through visualizations of the human body. Rendered images are then interpreted by specialists.

Several imaging techniques integrated in radiology equipment include x-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These techniques seek to understand and unveil what our bodies are trying to tell us but just can not.

Notably, employing a biomedical technician will assure the radiology equipment is accurate, updated, reliable, and safe. With regular use, it is crucial to check and service radiology equipment. Some equipment require recalibration. Please refer to the manufacturer to ensure safe maintenance.

Radiology equipment ranges from lightweight to heavy duty. Different types of image processing include film and imaging plates. Manufacturers include Fujifilm, Kodak/Carestream, FireCR, Imaging Dynamics Co., GE Lunar, etc.
