A scan generated by medical imaging technology is shown below. Identify the type of imaging modality (Xray/CT, Ultrasound, MRI, Nuclear Imaging) that most likely generated that image. Additionally, identify the type of scan that was performed based on the information provided in the image (i.e. what features are most easily visible in the scan, is the scan functional or structural?). Justify your response.

Match the correct imaging scan with the definition. Some will have more than one correct match: Mammogram Magnetic resonance imaging testing Imaging scans Computerized tomography scans Positron emission tomography Match each of the options above to the items below: - Uses powerful magnets and radio waves to produce detailed computer-generated pictures of the body - Radioactive material injected into the body to act as a tracer - Taken as a series of X-ray pictures of the body at different angles to create a multi-dimensional view of the internal organs - Used in diagnosing cancer after an initial blood test suggests the presence of cancer in the body - An X-ray picture of the breast to look for early signs of breast cancer
