What is Radiology?
Radiology is a medical specialty that involves the use of imaging techniques to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases within the body. These imaging techniques include X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound.
- Diagnosis: Radiologists use imaging to detect and monitor various conditions, such as fractures, infections, and cancers.
- Guided Treatment:Imaging can guide certain procedures, like biopsies or the placement of stents, ensuring accuracy and safety.
- Non-invasive: Most radiological procedures are non-invasive, meaning they don’t require surgery, which reduces patient risk and recovery time.
- Comprehensive: Radiology covers all areas of the body, from the brain to the bones, allowing for a broad assessment of a patient’s health.
