Radiology

 Radiology is a branch of medicine that specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases using medical imaging methods and radiation.  Physicians who specialize in this field use a variety of imaging techniques to view and understand patients’ internal organs, bones and tissues.

 Radiology helps visually examine structural changes in the body to make early diagnosis of diseases and determine appropriate treatment methods.  Radiologists obtain detailed images to make diagnoses and follow the course of diseases using different imaging techniques such as x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography (USG) and nuclear medicine.  These imaging methods help diagnose and treat many medical conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, bone and joint diseases, and pathologies in internal organs.  Radiology plays an important role as an important medical field that helps understand and better treat patients’ health problems.  Radiologists work collaboratively with other medical professionals to improve the quality of healthcare by providing accurate and effective treatment to patients.
