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, Computer Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound as well as some other specialised types of radiological imaging.
Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs) or Radiographers perform your X-ray, barium and mammography examinations.
Sonographers are MRTs who perform your ultrasound examinations.
Radiologists are specialist doctors who read and understand your films. They will also be involved if you have an intravenous urogram (IVU), barium study, mammography and a number of other ultrasound procedures. They interpret the results of the images and send them to your doctor.
