Disadvantages
X-ray
Harmlessly and easily helps to analyze sickness and screen treatment
It can harm cells in the body, which thus can build the danger of creating malignant growth. CT scan is better than X-ray.
CT scan
It is easy, painless, and precise. It has the capacity to picture bone, delicate tissue, and veins all simultaneously. It gives point-by-point pictures of many kinds of tissue.
It requires breath holding and radiation which is difficult for a few patients
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
It does not include radiation and is more averse to deliver an unfavorably susceptible response that might happen when iodine-based substances are utilized for X-beams and CT checks
The time required for an MRI is longer than CT. Additionally, MRI is typically less inclined to be quickly accessible than CT.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
It diminishes the quantity of examining meetings a patient should go through
Slow developing, less dynamic cancers may not assimilate a lot of tracer
