“Radiology” or “diagnostic radiology” refers to a number of medical imaging techniques that allow doctors to see inside a patient’s body. Although the word “radiology” implies radiation, not all of the techniques actually use x-ray radiation (for example ultrasound and nuclear medicine).

Radiology is one of the broadest fields of medicine and encompasses diagnostic and interventional radiology. Diagnostic imaging are tests used to detect and monitor disease states in the body. This includes x-rays, computed tomography (CT or CAT scan), MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, mammography and PET, among others.
