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?
Yes, in some cases, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are common treatments for cancer, both of which fall under the radiology field!
How exactly does radiation therapy work with cancer treatment?
It deals with using ionizing radiation, generally as part of the cancer treatment to control and/or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator.
It is very effective in the treatment of cancer?
Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. These contrast with benign tumors, which do not spread. Possible signs and symptoms include a lump, abnormal bleeding, prolonged cough, unexplained weight loss, and a change in bowel movements. While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they can also have other causes. Over 100 types of cancers affect humans.
Tobacco use is the cause of about 22% of cancer deaths. Another 10
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
