Diagnostic Radiology
|
Diagnostic Radiology is the process of creating images of the body, its organs, and other internal structures with external radiation. Diagnostic Radiology techniques include the use of x-ray tubes that emit radiation, radionuclides, ultrasonographic devices, and radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation. Many different diagnostic scans and procedures are also performed in nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine utilizes small amounts of radioactive agents, such as thal lium or technetium, to examine various organs and their structure. These scans are used to diagnose, manage, and treat medical disorders and diseases. The Diagnostic Imaging department may be contacted by calling 740-439-8716 or by fax at 740-435-2909.
