Radiology

Radiology procedures are used for looking at the internal structures of the body, whether bone or soft tissue. Usually these examinations are carried out to:

  • diagnose disease states, such as gallstones, pneumonia
  • show the extent of injury to body structures
  • to aid in interventional procedures, such as biopsies

Different Radiological methods are used to do this such as, X-ray (also referred to as plain film or CR), Computer Tomography (CT,or CAT scan), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound as well as some other specialised types of imaging.
