COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR DIAGNOSIS OF TWO FACIAL
... Clinical Case 2: a female patient, age 9, was admitted after a bicycle fall. The physical examination showed edema and right periorbital ecchymosis, with no typical signs of facial fracture. The conventional radiographic image did not show the fracture. The odontology staff requested a multislice co ...

Nuclear medicine
Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Nuclear medicine scans are usually conducted by radiographers. Nuclear medicine, in a sense, is ""radiology done inside out"" or ""endoradiology"" because it records radiation emitting from within the body rather than radiation that is generated by external sources like X-rays.
