Clinical Radiology

It is a specific branch of medicine that uses state of the art equipment and a range of techniques to capture images of the inside of the body.

Clinical radiologists use various imaging techniques including:

·        X-ray

·        Ultrasound

·        Computed tomography (CT) including multislice scanning

·        Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

·        Positron emission tomography coupled with CT or MRI (PET-CT or PET-MRI) – enabling enhanced 3D images

·        Fluoroscopy – using real-time x-ray imaging to show internal structures of the body

·        Molecular imaging – CT perfusion, dual-energy CT, optical imaging

·        Nuclear medicine techniques
