Radiology service in a hospital refers to the medical specialty that uses imaging techniques, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and ultrasound, to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions.
Radiology services are typically performed by radiologists, who are medical doctors who have specialized training in the use of imaging technologies. Radiology services play a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions, including broken bones, cancer, heart disease, and internal injuries.
The goal of radiology services is to provide accurate, non-invasive, and safe imaging studies to help healthcare providers diagnose and treat patients effectively. In addition to diagnostic imaging, radiology services may also offer interventional radiology procedures, such as biopsies, embolization, and the placement of catheters, to provide minimally invasive treatment options to patients.
