Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging

Until a few years ago, diagnostic imaging was limited to radiography (x-rays), ultrasound and endoscopy. Although these are still very useful diagnostic tools, there are now far more advanced diagnostic imaging methods, such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), that are being more commonly used in rabbit medicine.
