Diagnostic imaging lets doctors look inside your body for clues about a medical condition. A variety of machines and techniques can create pictures of the structures and activities inside your body. The type of imaging your doctor uses depends on your symptoms and the part of your body being examined. They include:

  • X-rays
  • CT scans
  • Nuclear medicine scans
  • MRI scans
  • Ultrasound

Many imaging tests are painless and easy. Some require you to stay still for a long time inside a machine. This can be uncomfortable. Certain tests involve exposure to a small amount of radiation.

For some imaging tests, doctors insert a tiny camera attached to a long, thin tube into your body. This tool is called a scope. The doctor moves it through a body passageway or opening to see inside a particular organ, such as your heart, lungs, or colon. These procedures often require anesthesia.

LITHIUM
   The compounds of LITHIUM are used in medicine in preference to corresponding salts of other allgaline bases because the atomic weight of the element is much lower than that of any other metal, nence the dose required is smaller to produce the same effects, when that is due to the acid constituent (e. g. lithium bromide, lithium salicylate). Lithium further forms with uric acid soluble salts, hence the carbonate and compounds like the citrate which are converted into carbonate in the system, are 2
