Radiology

Radiology is the specialty focused on using medical imaging to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases within the body. Radiologists interpret images from X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, and other imaging modalities.

Subspecialties include interventional radiology, which involves minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging, and diagnostic radiology, which focuses on interpreting images for accurate diagnoses. Radiologists collaborate closely with other physicians to guide treatment plans, detect abnormalities, and deliver targeted therapies (e.g., image-guided biopsies).
