Radiology

Radiology is the medical discipline that uses medical imaging to diagnose and treat diseases within the bodies of animals and humans. A variety of imaging techniques such as X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET), fluoroscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to diagnose or treat diseases.

Radiographynoun

Radiographynoun

the process of making a radiograph; producing an image on a radiosensitive surface by radiation other than visible light

Radiographynoun

photography that uses other kinds of radiation than visible light

Radiography

Radiography is an imaging technique using X-rays, gamma rays, or similar ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation to view the internal form of an object. Applications of radiography include medical radiography ( and ) and industrial radiography.
