1. X-ray

● Uses: Primarily for viewing bones, detecting fractures, lung conditions, and dental

problems.

● Pros: Quick, inexpensive, widely available.

● Cons: Limited for soft tissues, involves radiation.

2. CT Scan (Computed Tomography)

● Uses: Detailed imaging of internal organs, bones, and blood vessels, used for trauma,

cancer, or internal bleeding.

● Pros: High detail, fast results.

● Cons: Higher radiation dose, expensive.

3. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

● Uses: Soft tissue imaging (brain, spinal cord, muscles, joints), no radiation.

● Pros: Excellent for soft tissue details, no radiation.

● Cons: Expensive, longer procedure, not for patients with certain implants.

4. Ultrasound (USG)

● Uses: Pregnancy monitoring, abdominal and pelvic issues, heart conditions

(echocardiograms).

● Pros: Safe (no radiation), real-time imaging, inexpensive.

● Cons: Limited for dense tissues, image quality affected by body fat or gas
