The FDA categorizes medical imaging as a technology used to visualize the human body for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of medical conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. CT scan, MRI, X-ray, and ultrasound are some of the medical imaging techniques that use 3D technology for advanced imaging. These 3D technologies offer high-resolution imaging, as high as 80,000 voxel or volumetric pixel, which is tenfold more than 2D medical imaging. 3D medical imaging provides better imaging of the anatomy and tissues than 2D equipment, to aid in surgical procedures. Many medical facilities worldwide use mammography or 3D X-ray imaging to diagnose breast cancer.
