Abstract
Noninvasive imaging can be used as a substitute for invasive procedures to reduce the risk and discomfort involved in obtaining necessary diagnostic information. This is particularly desirable in the very old, as well as the very young. Noninvasive imaging procedures used in current clinical practice or as research tools include:
-
Digital Radiography
-
Magnetic Resonance
-
Ultrasound B-Mode
-
Ultrasound Doppler
-
Positron Emission Tomography
-
Radionuclide LDL Imaging
-
Radionuclide Platelet Imaging
-
CAT Scanning
