Radiology |
The term radiology does not encompass the entire spectrum
of modalities that most radiologists employ in their work.
In addition to using radiant energy like that emitted by x-ray
tubes and radionuclides, radiologists apply other medical
imaging systems to obtain information for diagnosis and to
guide therapeutic procedures. These other systems include
ultrasonographic devices and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Radiologists gain certification through the American Board
of Radiology.
