Radiology is the use of medical images to diagnose disease within the body which helps in proper treatment of disease. There are several ways used to diagnose diseases such as X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The X-rays are produced by a combining ionizing radiation and light that strikes a photosensitive surface. It produces a latent image which is then processed. The computed tomography is the workhorse of radiology, while Ultrasonography uses acoustic energy above the audible frequency of humans to produce images. It is one of the cheapest and harmless technologies in radiology and is used to examine imaging of children and pregnant women.
