Several imaging techniques are employed in toxicology, each with its unique advantages and limitations. Commonly used methods include:
Computed Tomography (CT): Useful for detecting acute toxicological effects, especially in the brain and lungs. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Ideal for assessing soft tissue damage and neurological effects due to its high resolution and contrast. Positron Emission Tomography (PET): Provides functional imaging by highlighting metabolic changes in tissues affected by toxins. Ultrasound: Often used for assessing abdominal organs and guiding interventions in toxicology scenarios.
