AB A  clinical  appreciation  of  medical  imaging  is  important  and  beneficial  to  the  role  it  plays  in  patient  care.  As  the  technology  behind  the  various  types  of  diagnostic  imaging  equipment  continues  to  advance,  the  more  informed  the  health  care  professional  needs  to  be  at  ordering  the  correct  diagnostic  examination.  Following  a  thorough  evaluation  by  a  qualified  health  care  professional,  patients  are  frequently  required  to  have  a  basic  x-ray  examination.  Many  of  these  individuals,  however,  will  require  the  use  of  an  advanced  imaging  modality  such  as  ultrasound  (US),  computed  tomography  (CT),  and/or  magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI)  to  increase  the  accuracy  in  diagnosing  the  specific  nature  of  the  problem.  Selecting  the  correct  imaging  modality  to  assist  with  the  diagnostic  work-up  of  the  patient  is  essential  to  the  timely  care  of  the  patient.
