What is Radiology?
Radiological 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 cancer or heart disease
- show the extent of injury to body structures
- to aid in interventional procedures, such as angiography.
The radiologist may use different methods such as, X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound as well as some other specialised types of radiological imaging.
The Team
- MRI Technologists - are qualified healthcare professionals who use ionising radiation or magnetic fields to produce diagnostic images of the body to help doctors diagnose and treat illness and injury
- Radiologists - are specialist doctors who read and understand your films. They will also be involved in some ultrasound and interventional procedures. They interpret the results of the images and send them to your doctor.
