Comparison of imaging diagnosis methods
| Techniques | safety | Limitations | References |
|---|---|---|---|
| X-ray computed tomography | Less radiation exposure | Low sensitivity to several tisues | Wang et al.78 |
| MR | Non-invasive | High cost; time-consuming | Stucht et al.79 |
| PET | Minimal radiation exposure | High cost; poor inflammation specificity | Moses et al.80 |
| THz | Non-invasive and non-ionizing under controlled radiation power density and exposure time | As discussed in Part 6 | Yang et al.7 |
