Radiology is a branch of medicine that uses imaging technology to diagnose and treat disease. Radiology may be divided into two different areas, diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology. Doctors who specialize in radiology are called radiologists.

Diagnostic radiology helps health care professionals see structures inside your body. Doctors that specialize in the interpretation of these images are called diagnostic radiologists. Using the diagnostic images, the radiologist or other physicians can often:

# Diagnose the cause of your symptoms

# Monitor how well your body is responding to a treatment you are receiving for your disease or condition

# Screen for different illnesses, such as breast cancer, colon cancer, or heart disease

The most common types of diagnostic radiology exams include:

*Computed tomography (CT), also known as a CAT scan (computerized axial tomography), including CT angiography

*Fluoroscopy, including upper GI and barium enema

*Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)

*Mammography

*Plain x-rays, which includes chest x-ray

*Positron emission tomography, also called PET imaging or a PET scan

*Ultrasound
