Medical imaging equipment plays a huge part in diagnosing patients daily, and there are many different types of machines that contribute to this practice. Among the most common of these machines are X-Ray and Ultrasound devices. Both of these are used to identify disease or injury in the body, and although they are both very popular, they each work differently.

X-Ray Machines

X-rays use electromagnetic radiation to produce an image. The source sends a small dose of radiation through the body and an image is created when the internal parts of the body absorb the radiation. X-Ray machines are known to identify broken bones, issues in the lungs and intestines, as well as identifying objects inside the body. The X-Ray film will detect only the area that was exposed to the beam of light. Soft tissues cannot absorb the rays, therefore the beam passes through them. An ultrasound exam might be done to further identify injury in the soft tissues. Depending on the injury, a patient can be asked to have either or sometimes both imaging exams done. If you require getting any one of these done, your physician will discuss the benefits of going through with the screening. 

Ultrasound Machines

When an injury cannot be seen directly with an X-Ray, a Doctor might use an ultrasound machine. Ultrasound machines are used to identify problems in the soft tissues or to further see injury in the muscles. Ultrasound imaging works through mechanical acoustic waves that do not carry any risk. The image an ultrasound makes is called a sonogram. As we have previously mentioned, ultrasounds create an image by traveling soundwaves inside of the body that bounces back on dense surfaces. Having a higher frequency means getting a better quality image. Having a lower frequency means the quality is inferior yet the frequency travels deeper in the tissue. Whether it be an X-Ray or an Ultrasound, you can be sure this type of technology will help your physician quickly identify the cause of pain or disease.

If it's your first time getting a mammogram done you can be sure it is a very important part of your health check-up. This exam can be a bit intimidating for first-time patients and it is best to be prepared. To better understand how these mammography units work, we will go over some of the most important parts of the medical imaging equipment that helps save lives daily. 

Although mammography units are medical imaging equipment, they don’t expose patients to as much radiation as other medical imaging equipment. Mammograms have 2 plates that compress and flatten the breast in order to spread apart and examine the tissue. The technologist will take an X-ray of the breast as it is being compressed for about 15 seconds. A side compression will also be done in order to scan all the tissue in the breast. In order to get a good scan or image, it is important to stand still and sometimes even hold your breath while the scans are being taken.

3D mammography units have the same way of functioning as 2D mammography units, except that 3D mammography units have a small arm that moves around the breast while it takes the images. The screening takes about 20 minutes to complete and the machine takes various images that concentrate in a specific place when it is needed. These images will then be checked by a Radiologist who will analyze them and decide if there is a need to take any more scans. It is important to have an annual screening done to ensure early detection.

Ultrasound machines are used all over the world. This type of medical imaging equipment is mainly used to evaluate fetal development and to help diagnose problems in the liver, kidneys, heart or abdomen. During pregnancy, in order to see how the baby progresses,  it is important to have regular ultrasound scans. The image an ultrasound makes is called a sonogram. Here at Medilab Global, we provide hospitals, clinics, and other facilities with pre-owned medical imaging equipment such as used ultrasound machines. The medical imaging equipment for sale at our facilities helps doctors worldwide to identify or diagnose many issues inside the body. In the case of ultrasound machines, it helps soon-to-be parents everywhere to get a closer look at their baby.

3D Ultrasound Imaging

The way an ultrasound works is simple and very safe. This type of imaging technology works with sound waves instead of radiation. The transducer, also known as a wand, is placed on the surface of the desired examination area. Ultrasounds create an image by traveling soundwaves inside of the body that bounces back on dense surfaces. Having a higher frequency means getting a better quality image. Having a lower frequency means the quality is inferior yet the frequency travels deeper in the tissue. With this said, doctors are able to identify the movement, growth, and position of the fetus at any time. At Medilab Global, we encourage the use of second-hand medical equipment because we know and understand the benefits this brings to facilities that don’t always want to invest in new equipment. We guarantee that our service and refurbished ultrasound machines will help deliver top-notch results to your patients.

Doppler Ultrasound

Another type of ultrasound can also be used to analyze the blood flow inside the body. This can be detected by using a Doppler ultrasound. Measuring the rate of blood flow through the heart and arteries with this type of ultrasound machine means identifying the change in frequency of the echoes to determine how fast the object is moving. 

In conclusion, ultrasound machines can be used in many fields in the medical industry.  From tracking a baby’s growth and development in Obstetrics and Gynecology, to Cardiology and Urology to check the heart and kidneys. This type of medical imaging equipment helps doctors everywhere to bring results through the use of soundwaves.

A catheterization laboratory, also known as a cath lab, is a hospital room where minimally invasive procedures or exams which help diagnose cardiovascular diseases are performed. A small and flexible tube called a catheter is used to access the heart and blood vessels. A standard procedure in a cath lab will typically last between 1 and 3 hours and will relate to an imaging exam. This type of medical imaging equipment can be used to further diagnose cardiovascular issues. The patient will most likely be sedated and the physician will prep the examination area.

Cath labs are usually filled with X-Ray imaging cameras which are used to display real-time images on the monitor. At Medilab Global, we have used radiology equipment and we can help you buy used cath labs for your facilities. A cath lab normally uses a single X-Ray source and image intensifier, although most new models can be digital and biplane ( 2 X-Ray sources) and have flat-panel detectors instead of an intensifier.

During testing, the patient will lay flat on the cath table and the cameras will move around the body to take the images. In most cases where blood vessels are examined, the patient will need to be previously injected with X-Ray dye using a catheter. An interventional cardiologist will work together with a team of X-Ray technicians and nurses to treat any arterial problems or cardiovascular issues, or even a full-blown heart attack. 

If your facility requires up-to-date medical imaging equipment, and you want to invest in great quality machines, Medilab Global offers a variety of used medical imaging equipment that can help your facility live to its maximum potential. Cath labs are an important part of cardiovascular medicine and help treat issues both minimal and critical.

Diabetes affects about 400 million people worldwide, this week on March 22 was American Diabetes Alert Day and at Medilab Global we contribute by raising awareness on this disease. Today we will talk about the way medical imaging equipment is used in regards to this disease. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are both associated with an impairment of pancreatic ​​β-cells. In order to handle and detect diabetes, it is crucial to preserve these β-cells and the way they function. 

Both MRI and PET/CT diagnostic imaging is used to detect the population and function of these β-cells. Doctors are able to monitor the progress of this disease and the results of anti-diabetic therapies when using this type of medical imaging equipment. The recent advances in imaging technology have been able to determine an early diagnosis for patients everywhere. Monitoring β-cell functioning with MRI Machines proved to be very helpful to doctors. Zinc is responsive to MRI contrast and is also the main role of insulin secretion, making it useful to determine this process during an MRI scan. 

At Medilab Global we provide facilities with preowned medical imaging equipment such as MRI Equipment. We have used MRI machines for sale as well as refurbished MRI machines for sale. Also, we specialize in refurbished medical imaging machines and we buy medical equipment from facilities like yours! You can fill out this form in order to sell used medical equipment and we will get back to you as soon as possible! Used medical equipment can be just as functional as new equipment, and you can guarantee our refurbished radiology equipment has been inspected and serviced for your satisfaction.

PET imaging has also been used in recent studies to evaluate pancreatic islet cells and the loss of these in diabetic patients. So in conclusion, both PET and MRI have been successfully used to diagnose and treat these β-cells that are directly involved with diabetes. This week we help commemorate American Diabetes Alert Day and hope this blog helps further understand the relationship between this disease and medical imaging.

Nuclear medicine is typically used to diagnose various diseases. These include neurological, gastrointestinal, and/or endocrine disorders as well as cancer, heart disease, or other conditions. Nuclear medicine uses radiotracers or small amounts of radioactive material to pinpoint molecular activity. This usually helps to determine if a treatment is being effective, or it can detect disease in its beginning stages. Here at Medilab Global, we offer facilities with refurbished nuclear medicine systems and refurbished nuclear cameras that will be used to diagnose patients. This type of medical imaging equipment is essential for diagnosing these diseases.

Radiotracers carry small amounts of radioactive material that accumulate in tumors or places where there is inflammation. You will most likely receive the radiotracer by injection or inhalation, depending on the exam and the radiotracer will then accumulate in the area that is under examination. A nuclear camera will then detect the emissions from the tracer and the computer will produce the image and give off the molecular information. Sometimes, to get a more exact diagnosis, doctors will fuse the results of a CT scan or an MRI scan with the result of a nuclear imaging exam, this is called co-registration. A PET/CT scanner will provide this type of combined imaging technology in a single result. Medilab Global specializes in this type of medical imaging equipment and we offer refurbished mobile PET/CT scanners that are used for this type of exam.

Another type of nuclear medicine imaging procedure includes visualizing the structure of specific organs, tissues, or bone systems in the body. For example, doctors can examine the heart’s blood flow or inspect the damage done to this organ following a heart attack. In the lungs, a doctor is able to scan for respiratory issues or determine the acceptance after a transplant. In the brain, this procedure is able to detect abnormalities in patients with symptoms or disorders like seizures or memory loss.

In conclusion, nuclear medicine systems are a very important part of imaging diagnosis. These systems can help determine the early stages of diseases and contribute to an overall assertive result.

Last week was brain awareness week and  Medilab Global wants to give you a brief look into what a PET Scan is like and how we can diagnose or spot symptoms in the brain with this type of medical imaging equipment. A PET scan, or positron emission tomography scan uses a tracer to look for damage or injury in the brain. This means that a radioactive substance is given through an IV or sometimes inhaled in gas form to inspect the brain and tissues. Once the tracer is injected, it will accumulate in the spot where the inflammation or injury is happening and this can help doctors get a further look into diagnosis.

Here at Medilab Global, we provide Mobile PET/CT scanners that allow doctors to treat and diagnose patients daily. Our preowned medical imaging equipment is guaranteed to bring high-quality results to patients everywhere. This used medical imaging equipment is inspected, serviced, and refurbished if needed. Our refurbished mobile PET/CT scanners can show how the brain is working or responding to treatment at any time.

Once you lie on the table, after waiting for the tracers to be absorbed, you are ready for your scan. The table will slide into the tunnel and will start to detect the signals from the tracers in the body. The computer will translate the data into images and 3D scans that can be perceived in the monitor on the PET/CT machine. The test will most likely take anywhere from 40 minutes to 2 hours and your physician will discuss the results after analyzing the images.

If you are a facility looking to sell your medical imaging equipment with us, you can fill out this form and we will get back to you as soon as possible! We buy medical equipment from clinics and facilities everywhere and also sell used Radiology Equipment. Used medical equipment is our specialty and we guarantee complete satisfaction with our services!

A bone densitometry scan or a DXA (Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) is used to measure bone density and mineral content. As we get older, some people can develop osteopenia, osteoporosis, or be at fracture risk, due to low bone density. A normal x-ray exam will not determine how weak the bones may be, yet a bone densitometry test is very important when it comes to preventing decreasing bone density and treating these issues at a more effective pace. Here at Medilab Global, we provide facilities with bone densitometers to help early diagnosis in patients worldwide. We have all types of pre-owned medical imaging equipment and used bone density machines for sale!

In preparation for this exam, it is important to have not consumed any type of calcium supplement in the past 4-6 hours. This can increase the levels of mineral content in the bones and produce a false diagnosis. It is also important to let your doctor or technician know if in the past few weeks you have gotten another type of imaging exam done that requires dye or contrast to be involved, as it can interfere with the results. After a few questions regarding family history and bone health, you will most likely proceed to the test.

During this test, the technician will ask you to lay on your back and you will be told to be completely still. It is very important not to move during the scan since this can affect the detail of the images. Depending on the body part being analyzed, the arm of the bone densitometer machine will pass over your body to scan with two different x-ray beams. This will most likely be the hip, wrist, or lower spine. In about 10-20 minutes the scan will be complete and this will result in a translated density measurement that will be interpreted by your physician or densitometrist. Bone health is extremely important and getting regular screenings done can lower the risk of osteoporosis.
