The difference between ultrasound, X-rays, and CT scans

  With the development of medical technology, medical devices for human body examination and monitoring are becoming increasingly sophisticated and can observe the state of people's bodies. These examination methods include ultrasound, X-rays, and CT scans, which people usually do. Under the advice of doctors, people will perform these examinations in a targeted manner, and they also hope to have a more detailed understanding of the differences between ultrasound, X-rays, and CT scans.

  

The difference between ultrasound, X-rays, and CT scans1

  1. B-ultrasound. B-ultrasound monitors whether there are any abnormal phenomena in the internal organs of the body through the reflection of ultrasound waves in the body. Therefore, when the reflected light of ultrasound waves is strong, it is possible that inflammation has occurred in a certain part, which provides a basis for doctors to diagnose diseases. However, B-ultrasound can only monitor certain organs in the human body, and the monitoring of certain parts may be limited.

  2. CT. CT is a detailed image of the human body obtained through X-ray fluoroscopy in medical equipment. Compared to ultrasound, CT's detection report provides a clearer observation of the disease site status of the human body. However, as an X-ray examination of the human body, the examination itself may cause certain harm, especially for pregnant women, which should be avoided.

  3. Make a film. The term 'filming' is a common term used by many patients for medical examinations, mostly referring to CT scans. However, in many medical testing projects, there are other related examinations that are presented in the form of filming. Therefore, the term 'filming' should also include some specific test names.
