The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists is the professional body of the medical specialists who practice Radiology and Radiation Oncology.

Radiology is the field of medicine that deals with the scanning of radiographic images of the body using medical imaging techniques, advanced computers and complex equipment that allows doctors to see inside a patient's body. Some forms of imaging include MRI, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and computed tomography.

Radiation Oncology is the field of medicine which involves the care of patients with cancer, and the use of radiation treatment, often in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy.
