Positron emission tomography
Positron emission tomography
(PET) is a nuclear medicine
medical imaging technique
which produces a three
dimensional image or map of
functional processes in the
body. PET is both a medical

Ultrasound
Ultrasound is sound with a
frequency greater than the
upper limit of human
hearing, approximately 20
kilohertz (20,000 hertz).
Some animals, such as dogs,
dolphins, bats, and mice
have an upper limit that is

Radiography
Radiography is the creation
of images by exposing a
photographic film or other
image receptor to X-rays.
Since X-rays penetrate solid
objects, but are weakened by
them depending on the
object's composition, the

Computed tomography
Computed tomography (CT),
originally known as computed
axial tomography (CAT) and
body section
roentgenography, is a
medical imaging method
employing tomography where
digital geometry processing
