Diagnostic Radiology is the process
of creating images of the body, its
organs, and other internal structures
with external radiation. Diagnostic Radiology techniques include the
use of x-ray tubes that emit radiation, radionuclides, ultrasonographic
devices, and radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation.
Many different diagnostic scans and procedures are also
performed in nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine utilizes small
amounts of radioactive agents, such as thal lium or technetium, to examine
various organs and their structure. These scans are used to
diagnose, manage, and treat medical disorders and diseases.
