Describe CAT scanners Produces complete 3D model of a patients bone and internal organs Assembles picture based on strength of signal
Advantages of CAT scanners Produces accurate diagnosis without need for surgery Removes danger of post-operative infections Leads to faster recovery
Disadvantages of CAT/MRI scanners Expensive to purchase/run Need for expert training Could result in loss of traditional diagnostic skills Claustrophobic/stressful in MRI Pacemakers/metallic limbs can't go through scanners Increased risk of cancer - prolonged X-ray exposure
