Radiology is the medical specialty that uses medical imaging todiagnose and treat diseases within the bodies of both humans and animals.Avariety of imaging techniques such as X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computedtomography (CT), nuclearmedicine including positrneemissiontomography (PET), and magnetic resonanceimaging (MRI)… Read more “Radiology”

Ultrasound is sound waves with frequencies higher than the upper audible limit of human hearing. Ultrasound is not different from “normal” (audible) sound in its physical properties, except that humans cannot hear it.… Read more “Ultrasound”

A CT scan or computed tomography scan (formerly computerized axial tomography scan or CAT scan) makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual “slices”) of specific… Read more “CT scan (Computed tomography)”
