DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY
Diagnostic Radiology is the one of the most common and widely available diagnostic imaging techniques, and one of the oldest forms of medical imaging. An X-ray is actually an electromagnetic beam that is aimed through your body to a piece of film behind it. The resulting image allows your doctor to help narrow the causes of an injury or illness and ensure that the diagnosis is accurate.
