"Radiology is the medical discipline that uses medical imaging to diagnose diseases and guide their treatment, within the bodies of humans and other animals."
Specialty concerned with the use of medical imaging technologies to diagnose and treat diseases and disorders.
"It includes all imaging modalities, including those that use no electromagnetic radiation (such as ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging), as well as others that do, such as computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, and nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET)."
"Interventional radiology is the performance of usually minimally invasive medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies."
"The radiologist is a medical doctor who has completed the appropriate post-graduate training and interprets medical images, communicates these findings to other physicians by means of a report or verbally, and uses imaging to perform minimally invasive medical procedures."
"The nurse is involved in the care of patients before and after imaging or procedures, including administration of medications, monitoring of vital signs, and monitoring of sedated patients."
"The radiographer, also known as a 'radiologic technologist' in some countries, is a specially trained healthcare professional that uses sophisticated technology and positioning techniques to produce medical images for the radiologist to interpret."
"The modern practice of radiology involves several different healthcare professions working as a team."
"It began with radiography (which is why its name has a root referring to radiation)."
"Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) use no electromagnetic radiation."
"Computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, and nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET) use electromagnetic radiation."
"To diagnose diseases and guide their treatment."
"The radiologist communicates these findings to other physicians by means of a report or verbally."
"The radiologist uses imaging to perform minimally invasive medical procedures."
"The nurse is involved in the care of patients before and after imaging or procedures, including administration of medications, monitoring of vital signs, and monitoring of sedated patients."
"The radiographer produces medical images for the radiologist to interpret, while the radiologist is a medical doctor who interprets these images."
"Depending on the individual's training and country of practice, the radiographer may specialize in one of the above-mentioned imaging modalities or have expanded roles in image reporting."
"The radiographer uses sophisticated technology and positioning techniques to produce medical images."
