The Imaging Center (sometimes called Radiology) uses advanced technology to look inside the bodies of patients. It takes specialists to use the equipment and interpret the images produced. Such technology can be used to diagnose illnesses like cancer and heart disease, but also monitor patients by allowing doctors to look at babies in the womb, measure calcium density in bones, see heartbeat rhythms, etc. These images help doctors to accurately diagnose, and treat patients in a timely fashion.

Medical Facts

X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895 and in 1901 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for this achievement. He called them X-rays because didn’t know what they were initially. The first x-ray taken was the hand of his wife.

Radiology is the medical field that uses imaging to produce different types of images of the body for medical purposes. It includes X-rays, ultrasounds, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET scans), and nuclear medicine. These images are used for the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with various diseases. They are done by trained technicians and reports are produced by specialized doctors.

Ultrasound is a noninvasive form of radiology scanning, which uses sound waves to capture the structure of different parts of the body. This is a very safe procedure even for pregnant women and children and is very helpful in capturing real-time images. It can also be used to guide other medical procedures.

FAQ

1Is it safe to make X-rays?
X-rays are considered very safe and if done following the appropriate safety measures and only by medically trained staff. However, in some cases, like during pregnancy they should be avoided as they risk harming the fetus.
