Day 6 – Types of Imaging

This morning, I joined a call with Dr. Sud, Viraj, and Victoria (who are both on the RDOD team) and we went over the various types of imaging used in diagnoses. This included MRIs, CTs, and ultrasounds. It was very interesting to learn about how each of them work: ultrasounds dependent on the presence of sound waves, CTs using x-rays to determine the density of tissues, and MRIs measuring how magnetic something is by identifying the spin of atoms in the body. I had the opportunity to ask questions after the presentation about how the different forms of imaging function and how they play into the Case Listing Excel Datasheet that I have been working on throughout my time with RDOD.
