Early detection and ultrasound

“Whether X-ray or ultrasound, computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance tomography (MRT): the technological possibilities for imaging the interior of the human body have developed since then with striking rapidity. Today, alongside classical static two-dimensional X-ray images, we can call on three and four-dimensional presentations as well as the observation of physiological processes in real time. Radiology uses the different properties of human tissue to create images that support the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.”
