etting. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that utilizes a combination of radio waves, a magnetic field, and advanced computer technology to create detailed images of soft tissues, bones, muscles, organs, and nerves within the body. MRI machines are among the most powerful and technically advanced diagnostic imaging tools. These machines are radiation-free, and they can often be used effectively as an alternative to X-Rays or exploratory surgery. CT-Scan

CT, short for Computed Tomography, combines a series of X-Rays taken from different angles and utilizes computer processing technology to develop detailed cross-sectional images (slices) of specific areas of the body. When these images are observed sequentially, they can provide a physician with an unobstructed 3-dimensional view of a patient’s bones, soft tissues, blood vessels, and other body parts. X-RAY
X-Rays have been used by medical professionals for many decades. X-Rays are commonly used as the initial diagnostic tool because they can be done quickly and inexpensively. Oftentimes, an X-Ray is all that is needed to diagnose various common conditions. There are times, however, when the findings of an X-Ray are inconclusive, and more advanced diagnostic tools (such as an MRI or CT Scan) are needed

Ultra-sound
Ultrasound is an imaging method that utilizes high-frequency sound waves (beyond what the human ear is capable of picking up) to create high-quality images of various bodily structures and motions. No X-Rays are involved with the ultrasound procedure, and it can be used for a wide range of diagnostic tests
