Role of Radiology

Radiology plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of various medical conditions. It involves the use of imaging technologies, such as X-rays, MRI, and CT scans, to visualize the internal structures of the body. Radiologists work closely with other healthcare professionals to interpret images, guide treatment plans, and monitor the progress of conditions. Through advanced imaging techniques, the Radiology Department aims to enhance patient outcomes by providing accurate diagnoses and facilitating timely interventions.

History

The history of radiology dates back to the late 19th century with the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. Initially, X-rays were used primarily for diagnostic purposes, but over time, the field expanded to include various imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, MRI, and nuclear medicine. The 20th century saw significant advancements in technology and techniques, establishing radiology as a vital medical specialty. Today, radiology integrates cutting-edge technology with clinical expertise, ensuring high-quality imaging services that prioritize patient safety and comfort.
