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.
