Common Multimodal Imaging Methods And Their Applications

‌X-ray and CT combined imaging‌: X-ray imaging obtains imaging information through the absorption and scattering of radiation through lesions, while CT obtains slice images through rotating X-ray beam scanning. This combined imaging method can provide detailed information on bones and soft tissues, and is suitable for the diagnosis of diseases such as fractures, pneumonia, and tumors. ‌MRI and PET combined imaging‌: MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images to observe the soft tissue structure and organ function inside the body; PET evaluates the function and metabolic process of tissues and organs by measuring the metabolic activity of radioactive tracers. This combined imaging method is of great significance in the diagnosis of tumors, cardiovascular diseases and other fields. ‌Ultrasound and MRI combined imaging‌: Ultrasound imaging observes and evaluates the morphology and function of internal organs and tissues through the propagation and reflection of sound waves, and is suitable for the examination of diseases such as liver, gallbladder, and kidneys; MRI produces images through magnetic fields and radio waves to observe more subtle tissue structures and functional characteristics. This combined imaging is widely used in gynecological diseases, breast diseases, etc. ‌
