7. how xray work

7.1. fractured bones, detect injury or infection, or to locate foreign objects in soft tissue

7.2. is produced when a negatively charged electrode is heated by electricity and electrons are released

8. how pet scan works

8.1. early signs of cancer, heart disease and brain disorders

8.2. works by using a scanning device (a machine with a large hole at its center) to detect photons (subatomic particles) emitted by a radionuclide in the organ or tissue being examined.

9. how mammography works

9.1. breast imaging to detect cancer earlier

9.2. The machine takes x-rays at lower doses than usual x-rays. Because these x-rays don't go through tissue easily, the machine has 2 plates that compress or flatten the breast to spread the tissue apart.
