About Treatment

Radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases within the body. Radiologists, medical doctors who specialize in radiology, interpret medical images such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine scans. These images help healthcare providers diagnose conditions, plan treatments, and monitor the effectiveness of interventions. Radiology plays a critical role in various medical fields, including oncology, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, and emergency medicine. Advances in radiology technology continue to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care, making it an essential component of modern healthcare.

Here are some common procedures in radiology:

• X-ray imaging: Uses radiation to produce images of bones and organs.
• CT scan: Combines X-rays and computer technology for detailed body images.
• MRI: Utilizes magnets and radio waves for high-resolution soft tissue imaging.
• Ultrasound: Uses sound waves for real-time imaging of organs and tissues.
• PET scan: Injects radioactive tracers to visualize metabolic processes.
• SPECT scan: Utilizes radioactive tracers for organ function assessment.
• Fluoroscopy: Real-time X-ray imaging for dynamic internal views.
• Mammography: X-ray screening for breast cancer detection.
• Interventional radiology: Minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging.
