Radiology is the branch of medicine that uses imaging technology to diagnose (diagnostic radiology) and treat (interventional radiology) diseases and conditions.
Diagnostic radiology encompasses several subspecialties, each focusing on specific imaging techniques or areas of the body. Some common subspecialties include:
Neuroradiology: Neuroradiologists focus on imaging the brain, spinal cord, head and neck. They interpret images from techniques such as MRI, CT and angiography to diagnose conditions like strokes, tumors, cerebral trauma and degenerative diseases.
