Why is radiology important?
Radiologic technology enables physicians to make accurate and early diagnoses and select the best treatment plans. By using radiographic imaging and computers, surgeons can have a dress rehearsal. Three-dimensional images can be rotated; images can be manipulated to peel away organs and isolate a single structure. Approximately 59% of the U.S. population receives radiologic imaging services yearly. Some of the most important and recent advances in medicine are occurring in neuroradiology.
