NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Say so-long to the days
of black and white 2-D X-rays and images. From CT, to MRI and PET,
medical imaging is faster, more detailed, and three-dimensional and
is revolutionizing the way medicine is practiced. Thanks to
years of improved imaging, today’s scans can quickly and painlessly
diagnose a life-threatening condition, often eliminating the need
for costly and painful “exploratory surgeries.”

Doctors use robotics, the latest scanners and 3-D technology to
get the fastest and most accurate diagnosis. Doctors say
these scans are critical when it comes to detecting and treating
certain diseases. So what do patients need to consider before
undergoing a scan? Since these machines all look very
similar, how are they different? Is this innovative
technology better than what was offered in the past? What kind of
effect does this imaging have on the body? Dr. Don Rucker,
Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Siemens Healthcare, is
available to discuss the latest innovations in medical
technology.
