Radiology is a vital medical specialty that focuses on using advanced imaging techniques to diagnose and treat various diseases and conditions within the human body. Radiologists, highly trained medical doctors, play a pivotal role in healthcare by interpreting medical images, providing crucial insights, and collaborating with other medical professionals to develop effective treatment plans. This dynamic field encompasses a wide range of imaging modalities, including X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Each imaging modality offers unique advantages, enabling radiologists to visualize bones, organs, soft tissues, blood vessels, and even metabolic processes. The applications of radiology are diverse and indispensable. From diagnosing fractures, infections, and tumors to detecting neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers, radiology significantly contributes to timely and accurate diagnoses. Additionally, interventional radiology, a subspecialty within radiology, utilizes image guidance for minimally invasive procedures, reducing patient discomfort, recovery time, and the need for traditional surgeries.

X-rays are a type of radiation called electromagnetic waves. X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. The images show the parts of your body in different shades of black and white.

When the body undergoes X-rays, different parts of the body allow varying amounts of the X-ray beams to pass through. The soft tissues in the body (such as blood, skin, fat, and muscle) allow most of the X-ray to pass through and appear dark gray on the film or digital media. A bone or a tumor, which is more dense than soft tissue, allows few of the X-rays to pass through and appears white on the X-ray. When a break in a bone has occurred, the X-ray beam passes through the broken area and appears as a dark line in the white bone.

Ultrasound (also called sonography or ultrasonography) is a noninvasive imaging test. An ultrasound picture is called a sonogram. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time pictures or video of internal organs or other soft tissues, such as blood vessels.

During an ultrasound, a healthcare provider passes a device called a transducer or probe over an area of your body or inside a body opening. The provider applies a thin layer of gel to your skin so that the ultrasound waves are transmitted from the transducer through the gel and into your body.

Welcome to Landmark Radiology Services

Radiology is a branch of medicine that involves the use of medical imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions within the human body. Radiologists are medical doctors who specialize in interpreting and analyzing medical images to provide valuable insights to other healthcare professionals. X-rays use electromagnetic radiation to create images of bones, tissues, and organs. They are often used to diagnose fractures, infections, tumors, and other abnormalities. CT scans use a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (slices) of the body. CT scans are particularly useful for examining internal organs, blood vessels, and detecting various medical conditions. Radiology plays a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions. Radiologists work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide accurate and timely interpretations of medical images, aiding in the development of treatment plans for patients. The field continues to evolve with advances in technology, leading to improved imaging capabilities and diagnostic accuracy.
