Diagnostic Radiology
Diagnostic radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques, like X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds, to take images of the inside of your body. These images help doctors see bones, organs, and tissues to check for any problems, such as broken bones, infections, tumors, or internal injuries. By looking at these images, doctors can make accurate diagnoses and determine the best treatments for you without needing to perform surgery or other invasive procedures.
Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology is a revolutionary field of medicine that blends the art of imaging with the science of precise, minimally-invasive treatments. These methods are used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions by using specialized, precision devices like catheters and wires, that are carefully guided into the body through tiny incisions. These minimally invasive procedures are guided with the help of imaging equipment such as X-ray, CT and ultrasound, and in many cases, can...
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Medicine is a cutting-edge branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to allow doctors see inside the body and understand its inner workings by revealing the function and activity of organs or tissues in real time. Rather than a snapshot of the the structure of an organ, nuclear medicine scans can show how well an organ is functioning, often uncovering abnormalities before structural changes become evident.
Medical Physics
Medical Physics is a specialized field that bridges the gap between physics and medicine, applying the principles of physics to improve patient care. It forms the backbone of radiology, radiation oncology, nuclear medicine, and radiation safety, enabling the effective use of advanced technologies in diagnosis and treatment. From optimizing diagnostic imaging to ensuring precise radiation delivery in therapy, medical physics ensures you receive the best possible outcomes while minimizing...
