Radiology: Art of Medical Imaging

Radiology can be defined as a branch of medicine that uses radiant energy for medical imaging, which is used to diagnose and treat disease within the body. Physicians who are specialized in radiology are called Radiologists. There are a variety of medical imaging techniques in Radiology which includes:

• X rays: These rays are produced by the a combination of ionization radiation and a light striking photosensitive surface, which produces a latent image.

• Computer Tomography (CT): CT imaging uses X-rays in conjunction with radio algorithms to image the body
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET): A PET uses radioactive drug for imaging test to reveal how the tissues and organs are functioning 
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): This radiology technique make use of radio wave energy and magnetic field to make images of structures and organs in the body.
• Ultrasonography: This is one of the harmless technology in radiology which uses acoustic energy above the audible frequency of humans in order to produce images.

Procedures and techniques of Radiology
    The following are some of the specialized techniques and procedures available in Radiology:
