43 Vision Transformers in Medical Computer Vision familiar uses of X-rays are for breast tumors, enlarged heart, blocked blood vessels, conditions affecting your lungs, infections, osteoporosis, arthritis and tooth decay. CT Scans are used for identifying the various organs/slices of the body. CT Scans are used for detecting cancer, tumors excess fluid, pulmonary embolisms (blood clots), lung infections and emphysema or pneumonia. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) captures invasive cross-section images of the retina using light waves. OCT can be used to examine the retina's distinctive layers which help in mapping and measuring their thickness. OCT can be helpful in diagnosis of glaucoma, macular pucker, macular oedema, central serous retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, macular hole. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can capture 3d anatomical images noninvasively. MRI scanning does not use any radiation which make it an ultimate choice of capturing when frequent imaging is required in the treatment process especially in the brain. MRI is particularly suitable for capturing the soft tissues of the body, but it is more costly as compared to x-rays and CT scanning. MRI can be used to capture different parts of the body for example MRI are used for diagnosis of aneurysms and tumors, as well for
