Radiology – Diagnostic
Diagnostic Radiology
can be used to identify a wide range of problems. Broken bones, heart conditions, blood clots, and gastrointestinal conditions are just a few of the problems that can be identified by diagnostic imaging. In addition to identifying problems, doctors can use diagnostic radiology to monitor how your body is responding to a current treatment. Diagnostic
radiology
can also screen for diseases such as breast cancer and colon cancer. The most common types of diagnostic radiology include:
x-ray
;
ultrasound
; computed tomography (
CT scan
), also known as computerised axial tomography (
CAT scan
); CT angiography (examining the heart and associated blood vessels); magnetic resonance imaging (
MRI
); magnetic resonance angiography (
MRA

mammography
(examining breasts); nuclear medicine (with such tests as a bone scan, thyroid scan, and thallium cardiac stress test); and positron emission tomography (
PET scan
). A
Radiologist
