Abstract

Radiology is the medical specialty concerned with the study of parts and functions of body by means of X-rays. Radiology is increasingly becoming an interdisciplinary field, with physicians, technologists, and physicists combining talents in both diagnosis and research. In the process of clinical diagnosis, X-rays are used to assess the nature of bone fractures, dislocations, vertebral disk prolapse, cardiomegaly, pathological cavities in lungs, by plain X-rays. CT scan is a revolutionary technique in radiological diagnosis. CT scanners attached to computers synthesizes all information in many views in a single composite picture of a specific slide. Mammography is used for identifying the malignant and hormonal disorders of breasts.
