What is Radiology?
Although Radiology began with the use of X-Rays and large flat sheets of photographic films, the modern Radiologist now has a variety of tools for "taking pictures" of living patients. Many of these newer tools create an image with a computer (CT - computed tomography) and some do not use any X-Rays, nor radiation of any kind - such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and US (Ultrasound).
Radiologists must have a great understanding of Anatomy, Pathology, and Physiology in order to make accurate diagnoses.
