Radiology

Radiology plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing various medical conditions. Here's what's typically included:

1. X-rays:

  - Capture images of bones and internal organs using low doses of radiation.

  - Used to diagnose fractures, pneumonia, and other conditions.

2. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging):

  - Utilizes magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues and organs.

  - Helpful for diagnosing brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, and joint problems.

3. CT (Computed Tomography) Scans:

  - Create cross-sectional images of the body using X-rays.

  - Used for detecting conditions like tumors, blood clots, and internal injuries.

4. Ultrasound:

  - Uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs and tissues.

  - Commonly used for examining pregnancies, abdominal organs, and blood vessels.

5. Nuclear Medicine:

  - Involves administering radioactive substances to visualize organ function and detect diseases.

  - Helps diagnose thyroid disorders, heart disease, and certain cancers.

Radiology plays a vital role in providing insights into medical conditions, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring patient health.
