Radiology & Imaging (short for Medical Imaging) is a medical specialty that uses imaging technologies to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases within the body.

Major types of medical imaging include:

• X-rays – good for bones and chest/lung images
• CT (Computed Tomography) scans – cross-sectional body images using X-rays
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) – uses magnets and radio waves, great for soft tissues like the brain, spinal cord, and muscles
• Ultrasound – sound waves to view organs, blood flow, and in pregnancy
• PET scans (Positron Emission Tomography) – shows how tissues and organs are functioning
• Mammography – specialized X-ray for breast tissue
