Radiology

Intro

In radiology, different imaging methods are used to detect and treat diseases: radiography (X-rays), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound.

Diagnostic procedures are non-invasive. Surgical, interventional radiology includes angioplasty (the insertion of stents into blood vessels), imaging-assisted drainage to remove fluids, imaging-guided tissue biopsies or embolisations to close off vessels (e.g. for the treatment of aneurysms or tumours).
