MD in Radiodiagnosis - Course, Fees, Eligibility, Top Colleges, Top Careers

Radiology is the branch of medicine that uses imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases that cannot be seen from outside the body. A variety of imaging techniques, such as X-ray Radiography, Ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT), Nuclear Medicine and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are employed for diagnosing and/or treating various complicated diseases. Interventional Radiology follows medical procedures in line with standard procedures of Imaging Technologies. Radiographers are often also known as Diagnostic Radiologists. They are responsible for interpreting or ‘reading’ medical images and producing brief and concise reports based on them. They analyze the findings and impressions of such diagnoses. Such reports are then referenced to the Clinician, either routinely or on emergency-basis. The results thus obtained of the Imaging procedures are stored digitally in PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System).
