• An X-ray machine
2.COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT SCAN)
• This is a medical imaging device which utilizes many X-rays
from multiple angles to create cross sectional images of
internal organs of human body.
• It is used to give detailed imaging of cross sectional images of
internal structures like brain, abdomen, blood vessels and
chest.
• a CT Scan Machine
3.ULTRASOUND MACHINE
• This is a non-invasive imaging equipment that shows
structures inside the body using high-intensity sound waves.
• Ultrasound machine is used for the purposes like studying of
fetus development during pregnancy, abdominal diagnosis
and find genital and prostate problems.

4.MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)
• This is one of the Medical Imaging device which utilizes strong
magnetic fields and radio waves to generate the more detailed
images of organs and tissues.
• The distinguishing reason between MRI and CT scan is that MRI
machine gives more detailed and clear image of organs and soft
tissues.
• MRI is particularly effective for viewing soft tissues like connective
tissues, neurological conditions ,brain and spinal cord diagnosis,
and musculoskeletal issues.
• NB:
CT, radiography, and fluoroscopy all work on the same
basic principle: an X-ray beam is passed through the
body where a portion of the X-rays are either absorbed
or scattered by the internal structures, and the
remaining X-ray pattern is transmitted to a detector
(e.g., film or a computer screen) for recording or
further processing by a computer.
5.TACTILE IMAGING MACHINE
• A Tactile Machine is a medical imaging machine which
operate when receives a sense of touch from the human.
• It creates an image after receiving a sense of touch.
Forexample, when diagnosing fractures on a palm of hand,
tactile machine is used.
6. ENDOSCOPY MACHINE
• This is another medical Imaging device which does not use
any Rays to view the internal organs of human body.
• It is placed inside the body eg,through the throat then it gives
an image of the area to be diagnosed.
• It is most used for viewing small fractures and abdomalitiea
like entrance of unnecesarry object like coin.

THE ROLES OF MEDICAL IMAGING IN MEDICAL FIELD.
The Medical Imaging have a great role in medical field as follows;
• Use the correct device for its only authorized use to minimize
the effects to the patient.
