New diagnostic imaging systems have made it much easier for doctors to determine the nature of injuries, and new surgical tools mean safer operations and shorter stays in the hospital. Future medicine will likely astound us all. This book features the breakthroughs in medical science that have led to the development of new scanning and diagnostic tools, such as CAT, PET, and MRI scans. Doctors can now precisely define the location of a tumor or the degree to which blood flow is restricted in a tiny artery. As a result, the diagnosis of illness has become much more accurate. |
