Radiology

WHAT IS RADIOLOGY?

Radiology is one of the most comprehensive branches of medicine that uses sound, radio waves and X-rays and imaging technologies in the diagnosis process of diseases and includes invasive procedures accompanied by imaging techniques in the treatment process. Supporting all other branches with its studies, radiology is a vital component of many medical decisions that affect patients.

- Imaging Methods Using Radiofrequency Waves and Magnetic Fields

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR): It is an imaging method that uses a strong radiofrequency wave and magnetic field to create cross-sectional images of vessels, bones, tissues and organs. It is frequently preferred in fields such as neurology, gynecology, heart diseases, physical therapy and orthopedics.

Ultrasound: It is the method in which sound waves are used between radiology and imaging methods. This method is used in examinations in many regions such as the activities of the urinary system, gynecological examinations, and intra-abdominal organs. This examination method does not cause any harm in terms of patient health.

- Imaging Methods Using X-Rays

X-ray: It is a method of imaging body structures, especially bones, using X-rays (X-rays).

Panoramic X-Ray: It is the radiology method preferred for the field of dental and oral diseases, in which the inside of the mouth is fully displayed. It is an imaging method that is frequently needed by many doctors to enable planning before treatment.

Bone Densitometry: It is a radiology method in which bone density losses and bone fragility rates are evaluated by measuring the mineral density in the bones. With the help of this test, osteoporosis (bone loss) can be determined precisely at an early stage. The test is done using x-rays.
