Radiology is a branch of medicine which is used for diagnosis and treatment of patient. Radiology uses sound waves, radioactive substances, and electromagnetic radiation to create images of body, its organs, and structures.
These images helps to determine whether the internal organs and structures are proper functioning or not. Radiology has evolved in high-tech science to aid every aspect of the body. While in concern the harmful effects which are caused by these radiations, the risks of these radiations are outweighed by the information about the patient’s present condition.
There are two services which radiology offers specified below as:
1. Diagnostic
2.Therapeutic services
Diagnostic radiology is used to produce images of the body, its organs and other structures for medical diagnostic purposes. Diagnostic radiation uses external radiation.In this technique, nuclear medicine also used to produce images of the body, its organs functions and structures. Nuclear medicine uses very small amount of radioactive materials to create an images and also for the diagnostic and treatment purposes.
Therapeutic radiology is also known as radiant oncology. This radiology uses radiant of energy. This radiology helps us to study, treat, and manage cancer and other diseases.
Interventional radiology is used to identify and treat a medical disorder without requiring conventional surgery. Also this radiology uses various imaging techniques.
Interventional radiology techniques are quickly becoming standard therapies for cancer treatment. There are many kind of tools, which has become integral to tumor diagnosis, pain control and palliation for radiologist team in Illinois. For live cancer treatment, a very small tube is placed into the artery supplying the liver. Also, in interventional radiologists are leaders in these specialty and also having wide range of experience in vascular and interventional radiology procedures. This also include treatment for various kind of diseases, liver failure or abnormalities.
In this cure technique, parallel radiology technique used to identify and to make patient at normal condition from disease state. In this technique, patient provide the positioned properly and then they start image taking process. In this process films are taken from inner mouth part to check problem related to teeth.
Similarly, MRI is the technique which also done with radiology. In MRI process, the patient must be empty abdomen. Then after that patient allows to lay down inside the machine which take the multiple films or we can say that multiple images of different parts of our nerves inside the brain. After that the doctors checks the proper functioning of patient mind.
