New methods of imaging in diagnostic radiology
Abstract:
The basic ideas of electrostatic imaging with special reference to ionography are reviewed. The concept of edge contrast is explained in terms of calculated powder particle trajectories and methods for controlling edge contrast are presented. Also, methods for reading a foil from outside the ionography chamber using the electric field extending through the foil are described. An example of an image taken with liquid in the chamber (liquid lonography) is presented, and the possible extension of liquid ionography to nuclear medicine is discussed.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
