What is radiology? When people here the word radiology they think x-ray. To me‚ radiology means more than just taking an x-ray. Radiology is a science dealing with high-energy radiation that is used to treat and diagnose disease. Radiology technologists have more to do than just take an X-ray image of the body. Some tasks a technologist have to be able to perform include; taking their time to protect patients and themselves from radiation exposure‚ diagnosing a precise image of certain body parts

think of hospitals‚ they picture a community that puts safety first for their patients and healthcare professionals. But‚ that’s not 100% true. For health care providers who work in the radiology field they are continuously getting exposed to radiation and have to be very cautious with how much they receive. “Radiology is the science dealing with X-rays and other high-energy radiation‚ especially the use of such radiation for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.” In 1895 Röntgen discovered the X-ray

specific‚ the study of radiology. Radiology is the process of working and viewing inside the human body without breaking the skin. By using radiant energy‚ which may take the form of x-rays or other types of radiation‚ we are able to diagnose and treat many diseases and injuries. Both diagnostic and therapeutic radiology involve the use of ionizing radiation (Beta‚ Alpha‚ Gamma‚ and x-rays)‚ with the exception of the MRI‚ which uses a magnetic field rather than radiation. Radiology is classified as
