Radiology is the filed that includes CAT (computerized axial tomography) scans and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans as diagnostic tools.
Radiology is the science that uses x-rays or other forms of energy to create images for diagnosis. It can also be used for therapeutic intent. It has a variety of techniques such as x-ray imaging, ultrasound, MRI, CT scan and PET imaging. The acquisition of images is done by the radiographer or also known as radiologic technologist. These images are then interpreted by a diagnostic radiologist, a doctor who is trained to read or interpret the images and produce a report of their findings and impression or diagnosis.
