Computed Tomography Scan (CT SCAN)
A CT scan, also known as computed tomography scan (formerly known as computed axial tomography or CAT scan)
is a medical imaging technique used in radiology (x-ray) to obtain detailed internal images of the body noninvasively
for diagnostic purposes. The personnel that perform CT scans are called radiographers or radiology technologists.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology that produces three dimensional detailed anatomical images. It is often used for disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring. It is based on sophisticated technology that excites and detects the change in the direction of the rotational axis of protons found in the water that makes up living tissues.
Mammogram
Mammography (also called mastography) is the process of using low-energy X-rays (usually around 30 kVp) to examine the human breast for diagnosis and screening. The goal of mammography is the early detection of breast cancer, typically through detection of characteristic masses or microcalcifications.
X-ray Machines
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light.
An x-ray machine sends individual x-ray particles through the body. The images are recorded on a computer or film.
- Structures that are dense (such as bone) will block most of the x-ray particles, and will appear white.
- Metal and contrast media (special dye used to highlight areas of the body) will also appear white.
- Structures containing air will be black, and muscle, fat, and fluid will appear as shades of gray.
C-Arm X-Ray
A C-Arm machine is an advanced medical imaging device that works on the basic principle of the X-ray technology. They are fluoroscopy machines and are colloquially called image intensifiers. Technically, the image intensifier is only a part of the machine and it is called a detector. C-Arm gets its name from the C-shaped arm present in the device, which is used to connect the x-ray source and the detector. These C-Arm machines are widely used during orthopedic, complicated surgical, pain management (Anesthetics) and emergency procedures.
Bone Densitometer
Bone densitometry, also called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, DEXA or DXA, uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body (usually the lower (or lumbar, spine and hips) to measure bone loss. Determining a person’s BMD helps a health care professional decide if a person is at increased risk for osteoporosis-related fracture. The purpose of BMD testing is to help predict the risk of future fracture so that the treatment program can be optimized.
Oxygen Concentrators
An oxygen concentrator is a medical device that gives you extra oxygen. Your doctor may prescribe one for you if you have a health condition that causes your oxygen level to drop too low.
It can help some people who have trouble breathing due to conditions like:
Asthma
Lung cancer
COPD
The flu
COVID-19
Baby Air Shields
Baby air Shields or incubators, are an insulated enclosure in which temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions can be regulated at levels optimal for growth.
Incubators prevent hypothermia by helping your baby maintain an optimal temperature. Temperature controls on a baby incubator can be set manually or automatically based on your baby’s temperature. Baby incubators also act as humidifiers. This helps keep your baby from having skin problems.
Ultrasounds
Ultrasound, also called ultrasonography, in medicine, the use of high-frequency sound (ultrasonic) waves to produce images of structures within the human body. The ultrasonic waves are produced by the electrical stimulation of a piezoelectric crystal and can be aimed at a specific area of the body. As the waves travel through bodily tissues, they are reflected back at any point where there is a change in tissue density, as, for instance, in the border between two different organs of the body.
Hematology analyzer / CBC Machine
Hematology analyzers are used to run tests on blood samples. They are used in the medical field to do white blood cell counts, complete blood counts, reticulocyte analysis, and coagulation tests.
How It Works
The three main physical technologies used in hematology analyzers are: electrical impedance, flow cytometry, and fluorescent flow cytometry. These are used in combination with chemical reagents that lyse or alter blood cells to extend the measurable parameters. For example, electrical impedance can differentiate red blood cells (RBCs), WBCs, and platelets by volume. Adding a nucleating agent that shrinks lymphocytes more than other WBCs makes it possible to differentiate lymphocytes by volume.
Computed radiography (CR)
Computed radiography (CR) is the digital replacement of conventional X-ray film radiography and offers enormous advantages for inspection tasks – the use of consumables is virtually eliminated and the time to produce an image is drastically shortened.
How It Works
In computed radiography, when imaging plates are exposed to X-rays or gamma rays, the energy of the incoming radiation is stored in a special phosphor layer. A specialized machine known as a scanner is then used to read out the latent image from the plate by stimulating it with a very finely focused laser beam. When stimulated, the plate emits blue light with intensity proportional to the amount of radiation received during the exposure. The light is then detected by a highly sensitive analog device known as a photomultiplier (PMT) and converted to a digital signal using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The generated digital X-ray image can then be viewed on a computer monitor and evaluated. After an imaging plate is read, it is erased by a high-intensity light source and can immediately be re-used – imaging plates can typically be used up to 1000 times or more depending on the application.

Digital radiography (DR)
Digital radiography (DR) is an advanced form of x-ray inspection which produces a digital radiographic image instantly on a computer. This technique uses x-ray sensitive plates to capture data during object examination, which is immediately transferred to a computer without the use of an intermediate cassette.
