specific‚ the study of radiology. Radiology is the process of working and viewing inside the human body without breaking the skin. By using radiant energy‚ which may take the form of x-rays or other types of radiation‚ we are able to diagnose and treat many diseases and injuries. Both diagnostic and therapeutic radiology involve the use of ionizing radiation (Beta‚ Alpha‚ Gamma‚ and x-rays)‚ with the exception of the MRI‚ which uses a magnetic field rather than radiation. Radiology is classified as

A radiologist uses medical imaging technologies to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases. Originally it was the aspect of medical science dealing with the medical use of X-rays emitted by X-ray machines or other such radiation devices for the purpose of obtaining visual information as part of medical imaging. Due to the extensive training radiologists traditionally receive in medical image interpretation‚ radiologists now also direct other imaging technologies (such as ultrasound‚ computed tomography
