😔 What is scanxiety? It’s the anxiety that shows up before, during & after an #Imaging exam — and it can affect anyone. The fix starts with a care team that communicates well. Learn how to ease scanxiety 👉 tinyurl.com/4h6dpsku #Scanxiety #RadiologyInfo
What is it like seeing patients with scanxiety?"Most seem stressed when they come in because a lot have never had this test before. Listening to music relaxes people and they comment on the music at the end of the test. Getting to pick your music really seems to help!”

🔬 Nuclear medicine reveals what other imaging can’t — helping diagnose cancer, heart disease, GI & endocrine conditions. Learn the benefits, risks & how to prepare for your nuclear medicine scan 👉 tinyurl.com/mr2re8tt #NuclearMedicine #RadiologyInfo
Nuclear medicine imaging uses small amounts of radioactive material, a special camera, and a computer to create images of the inside of your body.Nuclear medicine provides information that cannot be obtained using other imaging methods--helping diagnose many types of cancers, heart disease, and gastrointestinal, endocrine, and neurological disorders.Because nuclear medicine procedures are able to pinpoint molecular activity within the body, 
they may detect disease in its earliest stages when it is most easily treated.

X-ray imaging, or radiography, uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the body's internal structures.Some x-ray exams may use an iodine-based contrast material or barium to help improve the visibility of specific organs, blood vessels, tissues, or bone.X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.X-rays are often used to help diagnose fractured bones, look for injury or infection, or locate foreign objects in soft tissue.
