Radiology

Radiology- X-Ray, USG

Radiology, also known as diagnostic imaging, is a series of tests that take pictures or images of parts of the body. The field encompasses two areas — diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology — that both use radiant energy to diagnose and treat diseases. While there are several different imaging exams, some of the most common include x-ray, MRI, ultrasound, CT scan and PET scan.

Radiographs

X-rays to look at bones, the chest or the abdomen.

CT (Computed Tomography)

A CT captures multiple x-ray angles of the patient using a doughnut-shaped machine, then creates computer-processed images.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

An MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves with computer processing to create images.

Mammograms

Specially powered x-rays that look at breast tissues.

Ultrasound

An ultrasound uses sound waves to create moving images that display on a monitor, commonly used for echocardiograms and examining the womb during pregnancy.

Fluoroscopy

X-rays that make moving images of the body in real time. This imaging is crucial for many procedures, especially those involving the gastrointestinal tract -
