Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic imaging refers to technologies that doctors use to look inside your body for clues about a medical condition. A variety of machines and techniques can create pictures of the structures and activities inside your body. The technology your doctor uses will depend on your symptoms and the part of your body being examined. X-rays, CT scans, nuclear medicine scans, MRI scans and ultrasound are all types of diagnostic imaging. Many imaging tests are painless and easy. Some require you to stay still for a long time inside a machine, though. This can be uncomfortable. Certain tests involve radiation, but these are generally considered safe because the dosage is very low.

Child Maltreatment - Neglect
Child neglect is the most common form of family violence and maltreatment of a child. A child may be defined as a person under 18 years of age. Each U.S. state may have different legal views of child neglect. Child neglect occurs when persons fail to fulfill their duties of taking care and meeting the needs of a child. These persons whom the child depends on or trusts may unknowingly or on purpose commit the neglect. Parents, guardians, foster parents, relatives, or a carer of a child may be responsible for the neglect. A carer is someone who is paid or not paid for caring for a child. Child neglect includes not giving a child his basic needs, such as food, clothing, shelter, proper education, guidance, and care.
