Body Structures in Medical Images
Learning Objective
I can distinguish between different body structures in medical images.
Key Concepts
Wilhelm Roentgen's discovery of X-rays in the late 19th century allowed doctors to see inside the human body without surgery for the first time.
Fluoroscopy, developed by Thomas Edison, allowed doctors to observe moving parts of the body in real time.
Advancements like ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI have enhanced the quality and detail of medical images, leading to better diagnoses.
