In a CT (computer tomography) scan, we form an image of a limb (arm, leg, shoulder, hip,...) by means of X-rays. Usually a CT scan is, in this case, an additional examination to better visualize a complex fracture, for example.

An ultrasound is an examination of the breasts that uses sound waves to look inside the body.

With an NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) we image the skull and brain by means of a magnetic field and radio waves. This is how we obtain 3D images of the inside of the skull: disc images in three dimensions. No X-rays are used in an NMR examination. The examination can be considered harmless.

With an NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we (partially) image the vertebral column by means of a magnetic field and radio waves. Thus, we obtain 3D images of the inside of the spine: disc images in three dimensions. No X-rays are used in an NMR examination. The examination can be considered harmless.

With an MRCP (nuclear magnetic resonance), we image the bile ducts and pancreas using a magnetic field and radio waves. Thus, we obtain 3D images of the inside of these organs and can detect abnormalities of the gallbladder, bile ducts and in the case of gallstones. No X-rays are used in an NMR examination. The examination can be considered harmless.

With an NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we image the blood vessels by means of a magnetic field and radio waves. In this way, we obtain 3D images of the blood vessels and can detect possible abnormalities. No X-rays are used in an NMR examination. The examination can be considered harmless.
