Paragraph Number

109

"Medical Imager" refers to any device, system, method, or apparatus configured, designed, or engineered to capture a medical image of a patient. In certain embodiments, a medical imager captures images or data that can be converted into images or internal structures of a body and/or of the anatomy of a patient. A medical imager can capture medical imaging in two or three dimensions. Various technologies can be used to implement a medical imager, including X-ray, such as computed tomography (CAT, CAT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), sound waves, such as sonography, and the like. A medical imager may support any biological imaging and may incorporate radiology, which uses the imaging technologies of X-ray radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, endoscopy, elastography, tactile imaging, thermography, medical photography, nuclear medicine functional imaging techniques as positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and the like. A medical imager may support fluoroscopy which is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the interior of an object.
