Question: why do you scan pctures

I use pictures (and video’s) taken during a scan as this allows us to look at the heart without having to do an operation or put the patient in any pain.
They just lie on one of our bed’s and we put some cold gel on their chest and move around a special camera to take pictures and videos. It doesn’t hurt at all but some people say the cold gel feels a bit funny!
