Imaging supplies

Medical imaging techniques are indispensable in modern medicine. They enable doctors to make diagnoses and detect diseases at an early stage before they get worse. The most important devices in this field include nuclear diagnostic devices, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerised tomography (CT), X-ray devices and ultrasound diagnostic devices.

Nuclear diagnostic devices use radioactive isotopes to measure certain body functions and detect abnormalities. They are particularly useful in diagnosing cancer and cardiovascular disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners use magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body. They are particularly good for diagnosing diseases of the brain, spinal cord and joints.

Computed tomography (CT) scanners use X-rays to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body. They are particularly useful in diagnosing bone and soft tissue injuries and in detecting cancer. X-ray machines are often used to diagnose bone fractures and lung disease.

Ultrasound diagnostic machines use high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the body. They are particularly useful in monitoring pregnancies and diagnosing diseases of the internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys and heart.

There is a wide range of accessories and products for each of these imaging technologies. For example, there are special contrast agents that can be used to enhance images of certain parts of the body, such as the heart. There are also special instruments that help take tissue samples and special positioning devices that help keep the patient still during the examination.
