What Types of Radiographic Techniques Are Employed?
Various radiographic techniques are used in toxicology, including:
X-ray: Commonly used for detecting foreign bodies and assessing bone and chest abnormalities. CT (Computed Tomography) scans: Provide detailed cross-sectional images, useful for complex cases. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Though not based on radiography, it's occasionally used for its superior soft tissue contrast. Ultrasound: Sometimes employed for examining soft tissue involvement, though less common in direct toxicological assessments.
