Radiology

Radiology is a branch of medicine that utilizes imaging technology to diagnose and treat diseases. It is divided into two main areas: diagnostic radiology, which focuses on identifying conditions through imaging, and interventional radiology, which uses imaging to guide minimally invasive procedures.

Radiologists are medical doctors who specialize in interpreting medical images to diagnose and treat injuries or diseases. They use various imaging techniques such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, and nuclear medicine to examine the body's internal structures, assess conditions, and guide treatment decisions. Radiologists may also perform interventional procedures using imaging to treat medical conditions without the need for surgery.

Radiology is crucial for diagnosing numerous conditions, especially cancer, as early detection is key to effective treatment and potential cure, with various imaging exams used depending on the type and test.

Diagnostic Radiology:

Diagnostic Radiologists use various imaging procedures to view inside the body and diagnose a patient’s condition, including:

•    Plain X-rays, such as chest X-rays

•    Computed Tomography (CT), also called Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) scan, including CT angiography

•    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)

•    Positron Emission Tomography (PET), also known as PET scan or PET-CT when combined with CT

•    Fluoroscopy, including upper GI and barium enema

•    Ultrasound

•    Mammography

•    Nuclear Medicine, such as bone scans, thyroid scans, and thallium cardiac stress tests

Interventional Radiology:

Interventional Radiology involves diagnosing and treating patients using minimally invasive, image-guided techniques, including:

•    Angiography or angioplasty with stent placement

•    Embolization to control bleeding

•    Cancer treatments, such as tumor embolization using chemoembolization or Y-90 radioembolization

•    Tumor ablation through radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, or microwave ablation

•    Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty

•    Needle biopsies of organs like the lungs and thyroid

•    Breast biopsy using stereotactic or ultrasound guidance

•    Uterine artery embolization

•    Feeding tube placement

•    Venous access catheter placement, such as ports and PICCs
