kuvamenetelmät
Kuvamenetelmät, meaning imaging methods in Finnish, encompasses a broad range of techniques used to visualize the interior of objects or phenomena, particularly within the human body for medical purposes. These methods rely on different physical principles to create images, providing valuable diagnostic information.
One prominent category is X-ray based imaging. Conventional radiography, or plain X-rays, uses a beam of X-rays
Another significant group of kuvamenetelmät involves magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI utilizes strong magnetic fields and
Ultrasound imaging, or sonography, employs high-frequency sound waves to create images. These waves are transmitted into
Nuclear medicine imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT),
Radiology is the medical specialty that uses these imaging techniques for diagnosis and sometimes treatment. The
