Radiology

by Hetal Verma, MD

The practice of modern medicine has been greatly enhanced by imaging modalities since the advent of X-rays. Radiology is the branch of medicine that uses imaging modalities to study body cavities and tissues and reach a diagnosis after identifying the presenting signs.

In this course, the student will be introduced to the basic aspects of imaging modalities as well as the radiological findings of the common conditions affecting the thorax, abdomen, pelvis, musculoskeletal system, and cranial vault. Additionally, general considerations regarding imaging studies in the pediatric population will be touched upon.

Radiological studies are an integral part of the current medical practice. Several conditions require an X-ray or a computed tomography (CT) scan for a definitive diagnosis. Some conditions, such as pancreatitis, rely on imaging modalities for the assessment of severity and to determine staging. Thus, a competent physician should be familiar with the available imaging modalities in their area of practice and also be aware of the medical conditions for which each of these modalities can be used.

Imaging modalities can be resource-intensive, especially in low-income areas; however, if a clinician is well versed with the working of different modalities and the diagnostic yield in each condition, the cost effectiveness of imaging modalities can be easily justified.
