Radiology
Radiology is a field in medicine where doctors use various imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT, MRI or angiography to look at the inside of human body in order to find out the cause of illnesses. Usually a radiographer operates the machine to obtain the images and a radiologist study the images and issue a clinical report.
Radiology can be broadly divided into diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology.
