 Radiology
is the medical specialty directing medical imaging technologies to diagnose
and sometimes treat diseases. Alexandria Clinic offers imaging technologies
such as computed tomography (CT), Bone Densitometry (DEXA Scan), mammography
and ultrasound to diagnose or treat disease. Interventional radiology is
the performance of (usually minimally invasive) medical procedures with
the guidance of imaging technologies. The acquisition of medical imaging
is usually carried out by the radiologist or radiologic technologist. Outside
of the medical field, radiology encompasses the examination of the inner
structure of objects using X-rays or other penetrating radiation.
