Scanning is the term applied to a number of radiological examinations including MRI, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine and CT. In medicine, the term “screening” refers to a national or regional programme looking for medical conditions in a person showing no symptoms, but having some risk factors, in the hope of identifying problems early when treatment should be most effective.
