100

This uses an agent called contrast media to better visualize soft tissues

Contrast studies

100

Measures the flood of blood into limbs and organs

Doppler sonography

100

Visualizes metabolism in different body parts; after a patient swallows or is injected with a radioactive tracer the gamma rays emitted are detected with a gamma camera

Nuclear Medicine (NM)

100

Visualizes kidneys, ureters, and urinary bladder

ntravenous urography; intravenous pyelography (IVP)

100

using imaging to guide surgical procedures (e.g., the placement of a stent in an artery)

Interventional Radiology

200

This visualizes large intestine following administration of radioactive barium enema

Lower GI series (barium enema)

200

Imaging of the heart and its function

Echocardiography

200

Measures bone density


Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)

200

Visualizes blood vessels

Angiography

200

using all types of imaging modalities to make a diagnosis

 Diagnostic Radiology

300

Visualizes lymphatic structures (lymph vessels and lymph nodes)

Lymphangiography

300

Charges the hydrogen atoms of the body’s cells and detects the change with a magnetic field to visualize soft tissue in detail

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

300

Visualizes the breast

mammography

300

Visualizes joints (knee, shoulder, and ankle)

Arthrography

300

Another name for ultrasound technologist, who produces sonographs of internal organs using sound waves at high frequency

sonographer

400

Uses computers to construct cross-sectional views (slices) of the body from x-ray images, may assemble into a 3D image if needed

Computed Tomography (CT)

400

Visualizes blood vessels and the cardiovascular system

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)

400

Uses the gamma rays released from injected radioactive tracers to create 3D images that visualize metabolic processes and blood flow. Often paired with CT, which can be done in the same machine at the same time


Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

400

a physician who specializes in using medical imaging and radiation to diagnose and treat disease and injury

radiologist

400

perform and assist in procedures to diagnose and treat heart problems.

Cardiovascular technologists

500

Live images for monitoring pregnancy, detecting cysts, stones, masses, and visualizing/measuring internal organs

Sonography

500

Visualizes blood flow in the brain while the patient performs activities to assess how the brain is working

Functional MRI (fMRI)

500

Visualizes uterus and fallopian tubes


Hysterosalpingography

500

This type of medical treatment uses radiation and other modalities to treat cancer

Radiation Oncology

500

These medical professionals work under the supervision of the medical physicist. They calculate and plan radiation doses to treat cancer.
