The four main imaging modalities or the dark wizardry that radiologists use to stare into solid objects, including your brain and butt. MRIs and ultrasounds don't use actual x-rays, right? Yeah. Oh, also CT scans used to be called CAT scans. People still call them CAT scans. What's the difference? Nothing. Just like an easy way of saying CT scan. Okay. Can we make it more satisfying? It's a bile flavor capri sun. Tap it, drain it, yeah. Moving on.
Hey, kiddo, it's what's INSIDE that matters -- like your guts and bones and squishy brain and intestines and stuff. Meet Dr. Varshana Gurusamy: diagnostic radiology resident, Texan and amazing person with great stories. You'll learn the difference between an MRI and an ultrasound, between a CT scan and a CAT scan and why you should not put big things in orifices that you might not be able to retrieve them unaided. You'll want to hug a radiologist ... as soon as they take their lead gonad shield off.
