Introduction

We could not imagine medical science without modern treatment methods and highly developed technological procedures.

High-tech developments such as ultrasound equipment or magnetic resonance imaging make it easier for doctors to make a diagnosis and save patients having to undergo stressful and risky examinations.

Where would we be without the ability to use X-rays in making a diagnosis, or the use of lasers to ensure the precision of surgical techniques and treatments?  Technological advances in medical care are simply incredible.
