What are the Limitations of Radiographic Imaging in Histology?
Despite its advantages, radiographic imaging also has some limitations:
1. Radiation Exposure: X-rays and CT scans involve exposure to radiation, which can be harmful in high doses. 2. Resolution: Although detailed, the resolution may not always be sufficient to identify very small or subtle changes in tissues. 3. Cost: Advanced imaging techniques like MRI and PET scans can be expensive, limiting their availability. 4. Artifact Formation: Artifacts can sometimes appear in images, leading to potential misinterpretation.
