I'm not very familiar with the study or practice of radiology. Do you know much about this?
I know quite a bit yes, it is the science that utilizes medical imaging to diagnose and treats diseases. Very useful science!
It is mostly used to diagnose broken bones?
Sometimes, medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures that are hidden. It is mostly for disease treatment though.
Is it used in cancer treatment as in radiation?
Treatment of cancer
Cancer can be treated by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, targeted therapy (including immunotherapy such as monoclonal antibody therapy) and synthetic lethality. The choice of therapy depends upon the location and grade of the tumor and the stage of the disease, as well as the general state of the patient (performance status). Cancer_genome_sequencing helps in determining which cancer the patient exactly has for determining the best therapy for the cancer. A number of experimental cancer treatments are also under development. Under current
Radiology
Radiology is the medical specialty that uses medical imaging to diagnose and treat diseases within the human body.
A variety of imaging techniques such as X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to diagnose or treat diseases. Interventional radiology is the performance of usually minimally invasive medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies such as X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear
