What is radiology?

Radiology and Imaging is an essential part of the patient treatment process. Radiology is the most important part of the diagnostic process. While a diagnostician can examine the disease from the external appearance of the body, he can not make a complete diagnosis without inspecting the internal body parts and to inspect the internal conditions of the body radiology is a necessity.

What does a radiologist do?

A radiologist or diagnostician takes vivid and detailed images of the body using different imaging modalities to carefully review the condition of the body and arrive at an accurate diagnosis. The imaging can be done via radiation, for example x-rays, PET scans, CBCT, etc., or by different imaging modalities such as ultrasound (sonar vibrations), MRI (magnetic resonance), etc. An accurate diagnosis is the first and most important requirement for a patient to arrive at the correct diagnosis.
