Endocrine Overview
Endocrine disorders affect glands and hormone production. Imaging helps identify structural and functional abnormalities. Students learn how imaging supports diagnosis.
Ultrasound Use
Ultrasound evaluates thyroid and parathyroid glands. It provides real time imaging without radiation. Students explore common endocrine applications.
CT and MRI
CT and MRI reveal masses, enlargement, and structural changes. These modalities support surgical planning and follow up. Students learn how modality selection influences outcomes.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine evaluates gland function and metabolic activity. It provides insights not visible on structural imaging. Students learn how functional imaging complements other modalities.
