Online Resources for Radiology

Radiology is an area of medicine that allows physicians to diagnosis diseases by image methodologies. Radiology uses radioactive substances or ionized radiation to create images. A radiologist uses several types of techniques such as plain radiographs, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. These resources describe the several specialities of radiology.
