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.
