Radiology & Imaging

Radiology & Imaging is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, evaluating, and sometimes treating diseases and medical conditions using advanced imaging techniques. It involves the use of technologies such as X-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine to create detailed images of organs, bones, tissues, and blood vessels. These images help doctors detect abnormalities, plan treatments
