What is Radiology?

Radiology is a branch of medicine that involves the use of medical imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases within the body. It encompasses various imaging modalities such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Radiologists, medical professionals specialized in radiology, interpret these images to identify abnormalities, injuries, or diseases in organs, tissues, and bones. Radiology plays a crucial role in medical diagnostics, guiding treatment decisions, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating the effectiveness of therapies.
