What is a "scanner"?
A scanner is a medical device used to create detailed images of the inside of the body. It works by producing different types of radiation, such as X-rays, magnetic fields, or ultrasound waves, depending on the specific type of scanner. These images help healthcare professionals diagnose and monitor conditions by providing clear visual information about organs, tissues, and bones. Scanners are essential tools in modern medicine for detecting abnormalities, planning treatments, and tracking the progress of diseases without the need for surgery or other similar procedures.
