- - - - Produces a complete 3D model of a patient's bones and internal organs.
    - - A positron emission tomography scan is an imaging test that allows your doctor to check for diseases in your body. They detect problems at cellular levels and can detect the early onset of disease.
    - - Provide a tremendous level of detail on tissue information, i.e. very good for detecting brain tumors.
    - - Have to keep still for long periods in MRI
      - Health risks- increased risk of cancer with exposure to radiation in CAT and PET scans
      - could result in the loss of traditional diagnostic skills
      - Anything metal such as metallic limbs cannot go through MRI
      - Can be claustrophobic
      - Need for expert training/interpretation
      - Expensive to purchase and to run
    - - Produce accurate diagnosis without the need for surgery
      - Removes the danger of post operative infections
      - Leads to faster recovery as no need for open surgery
      - Can give early detection of diseases
  - - - robotic surgery
      - smart pills
      - laser eye surgery
      - bionic limbs
      - cochlear implants
      - pulse monitor
      - respiratory rate sensor
      - glucose monitoring sensor
      - blood pressure sensor
      - heart rate sensor
