1 Computers in Health Care

2 Computerized Tomography (CT) A computerized X-ray that permits physicians to see clear, cross-sectional views of both bone and body tissues and to find abnormalities such as tumors.

3 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) A computerized body-scanning method that uses nuclear magnetic resonance instead of X-ray radiation. Magnetic resonance imaging is the alteration of the magnetic position of hydrogen atoms to produce an image. It produces a cross-sectional image the body. 

4 Positron Emission Tomography (PET) A scanning procedure in which a slightly radioactive substance is injected into a patient and detected by the PET scanner. The device's computer then composes a 3D image from the radiation detected. The image allows the doctor to see an organ or bone from all sides, much like a model they can pick up and hold.

5 Ultrasonography (Sonogram)- uses high-frequency sound waves that bounce back as an echo when they hit different tissues and organs inside the body. A computer then uses the sound wave signals to create a picture of the body part, which can be viewed on a computer screen. Ultrasound can be used to detect tumors and examine the shape and size of internal organs. It is most known for visualizing a growing fetus. 

6 Echocardiogram- utilizes a computer to direct ultrahigh-frequency sound waves through the chest wall and into the heart. The computer then converts the reflection of the waves into an image of the heart. This test can be used to evaluate cardiac function, reveal valve irregularities, and show defects of the heart.

7 Med Pyxis An automated medication dispensing system that supports decentralized medication management with various features for safety and efficiency. The system helps accurately dispense medication, while supporting pharmacy workflows.
