Images of Scans

Here are 2 images of what a scanned organ looks like. Doctors interpret these kind of images to detect and diagnose problems.

Image #1


This scan shows the spinal cord, and the kidneys of a patient. As you can see, the lower part of the spinal cord is swollen and in an abnormal shape. This is due to hepatic tumor, which has been detected, with the help of contrast liquids.

Image #2























This image shows a healthy large intestines. and the digestive track. The contrasted liquid appears white, and the air appears black. There are no abnormal regions, and this tells the doctors that the patient is fine. Pictures like these are what fluoroscopy mostly create, to help the doctors analyze effectively.
