Radiology

Radiology is a medical specialty using imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound, PET) to diagnose and treat diseases, split into diagnostic (interpreting images) and interventional (image-guided treatments like biopsies, stent placement). Radiologists are medical doctors who analyze these images and report findings to other physicians, aiding in early disease detection, particularly cancer, and guiding minimally invasive therapies, saving lives through precise internal views of the body.
