Ultrasound imaging uses a transducer or probe to generate sound waves and produce pictures of the body's internal structures.
Ultrasound is used to help diagnose unexplained pain and swelling, evaluate conditions related to blood flow, or provide imaging guidance to needle biopsies.
Ultrasound uses no ionizing radiation, has no known harmful effects, and provides a clear picture of soft tissues that don't show up well on x-ray images.
Ultrasound is the preferred imaging method for monitoring pregnancies.

La TC es una técnica de diagnóstico por imágenes que se utiliza para crear imágenes detalladas de órganos internos, huesos, tejidos blandos y vasos sanguíneos.
Las imágenes por TC pueden ser reformateadas en muchos planos y además pueden ser utilizadas para generar imágenes en 3D.
La TC es rápida, indolora, precisa, y no es invasiva. En casos de emergencia, puede identificar lesiones internas y sangrado lo suficientemente rápido como para salvar vidas.
La TC es generalmente el mejor método para detectar distintos tipos de cáncer porque las imágenes le permiten al médico confirmar la presencia de un tumor y determinar su tamaño y ubicación.
