http://medicalimagingnews.com/Magnetic resonance imaging, one of the most important medical imaging advances in disease detection, relies on the injection of contrast material to highlight specific tissue or to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue. The materials used in this procedure often have the drawback of being either simply constructed and managed in the body but giving low contrast OR more complex in construction and offering sharper contrast but with not as much stability w...
http://MedicalImagingNews.Com Biomedical equipment technicians or BMETs represent an expanding group of people who are technically trained whose primary responsibility is the maintenance and repair of medical imaging equipment like a CT scanner, ultrasound, x-ray MRI, and so on.

X-Rays have been in use as a medical imaging technique since approximately 1895 when Wilhelm Roentgen discovered that he was able to create photos of body structures like tissues and bones by passing electromagnetic waves through the body. He labeled the project "X" because he did not initially know the composition of the "rays". From that time forward, X-Rays have been the foundation upon which medical imaging technology and equipment for medical imaging have been constructed. Even though the...
