Biomedical imaging encompasses the physics and engineering behind every modality used to peer inside the human body without surgery. Computed tomography reconstructs cross-sectional slices from X-ray projections, MRI exploits nuclear spin relaxation to distinguish soft tissues, ultrasound maps acoustic impedance boundaries in real time, PET traces metabolic activity through radioactive decay, and conventional X-ray leverages differential attenuation to reveal bone and contrast-filled structures.
These simulations let you manipulate the core parameters of each modality — projection angles, relaxation times, pulse frequencies, tracer uptake rates, and photon energies — to build intuition for how raw physics becomes a clinical image. Every visualization runs in real time with physically grounded equations.
