Abstract

Diagnostic imaging is now of a standard which permits it to have a substantial influence on the selection of therapy in many diseases. The spectrum of these diagnostic modalities comprises scintigraphy, angiography, sonography, CT scan, and now NMR, and the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are discussed in this paper. The biological effect of ionizing radiation will not be considered in this evaluation, but only the diagnostic benefit and practicability of the method.
