What is MRI used for in hospitals?
- A.
  
  Inspecting the retina of a patient
- B.
  
  Constructing images of a patients insides
Correct Answer
B. Constructing images of a patients insides

Explanation
MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a medical imaging technique used in hospitals to construct detailed images of a patient's internal structures. It uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to generate images of organs, tissues, and bones. MRI is particularly useful for diagnosing and monitoring conditions in various parts of the body, including the brain, spine, joints, and abdomen. It provides valuable information to healthcare professionals, helping them to identify abnormalities, tumors, injuries, and other medical conditions.

CT scans are able to produce 3D images of a patient
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
CT scans, also known as computed tomography scans, use X-ray technology to capture multiple cross-sectional images of the body. These images are then processed by a computer to create a 3D representation of the patient's anatomy. This allows healthcare professionals to visualize and analyze the structures and tissues in a more comprehensive and detailed manner. Therefore, it is true that CT scans are able to produce 3D images of a patient.
