Nyocha ndị a na-adị ngwa na enweghị mgbu ma na-eji radieshon iji lelee ihe dị n'ime ahụ. Radieshon na-agafe n'ụdị dị nro ma na-etinye uche ya site na akụkụ ndị siri ike (dịka ọkpụkpụ). A na-atụle radieshon nke na-agafe n'ime ahụ site na onye na-achọpụta ihe na-emepụta ihe oyiyi ikpeazụ. Ọ dị mma karịsịa n'ichepụta ihe owuwu siri ike mana ihe onyonyo a enweghị nkọwa zuru oke.

X-rays involve small doses of radiation equivalent to anywhere between a few days and few years of normal background radiation. During the procedure, the body part being scanned will be positioned against the radiation detector with the X-ray machine opposite. The scan will only take a couple of minutes and if done as an outpatient you can usually go home immediately.

PET i .omi

A PET (positron emission tomography) scan is a painless procedure used to visualise cellular activity in your body. It is often used to investigate and monitor confirmed cases of cancer. The scan involves being injected with a substance which emits radiation (this is known as radiotracer). This substance acts similarly to glucose, the molecule that provides us with energy, which will build up in areas using a lot of energy. cancerỌrịa ebe mkpụrụ ndụ na-ekewa ma na-eto na-enweghị nchịkwa ma nwee ike gbasaa n'akụkụ ndị ọzọ nke ahụ. cells need a lot of energy and therefore the radiotracer accumulates where the cancer is and is interpreted by the PET scanner as an image. Onyonyo a na-esi na ya pụta na-egosi mpaghara ebe rediotracer na ya mere ọrịa cancer na-arụ ọrụ.
