PET Scans

[{"selector":"#anim-b4d6842d-980a-4d2c-b3fc-4e142aa357c9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-85657638-8654-4211-81d1-3bb64e3fc8c5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(535.93754%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] PET scans detect how your tissues and organs are functioning by using a special dye.

Thermal Imaging

[{"selector":"#anim-6545a1f7-eae6-4d3d-88bb-a5a7f388c196","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ea721147-9f6e-4c22-af65-f74172bd1ae6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(535.93754%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Thermal cameras can see the heat patterns in your body, which helps in diagnosing inflammation.

Endoscopes

[{"selector":"#anim-76027574-6fe2-453f-89be-7d42fd90bbdd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-96f37a29-978b-433f-9e1a-0b32b9c0937d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1586.95768%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Endoscopes are tiny cameras doctors can thread into your body to look inside your digestive system.
