Abstract:

In recent years, medical imaging including computed tomography(CT), magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), positron emission tomography(PET), and one set of two functions PET/CT, PET/MRI, DSA/CT has the rapidly development. In particular the new techniques of CT and MRI could display abnormal morphology of the diseases and can provide blood flow, metabolic change of the pathophysiologic information. This is very useful to provide a more Objective and detailed image data for clinical diagnosis and treatment and further understand the nature and evolution of disease. With the progress of medical imaging, it will play an increasingly important role in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of disease.

Key words: medical imaging, computed tomography(CT), magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), positron emission tomography(PET)
