Radiology is a part of medical science that studies technology, both electromagnetic waves and
mechanical waves, to scan the inside of the human body for a disease.

Radiology Tools

The radiological tools used for general examinations are X-rays using X-rays, CT scans,
ultrasound or ultrasound, MRI and nuclear. Radiological examinations have their respective
functions in examining disease, some examples of radiological examinations are as follows:

• X-ray: Lung disorders such as pneumonia, bronchitis, lung cancer and similar lung disorders.

• CT Scan: Problems with bones such as complex fractures, joint tumors, shifting of bones and
joints.

• Ultrasound (ultrasound): disorders of the heart and blood vessels such as heart disease, heart
failure, heart valve disease.

• MRI: disorders of the nerves and brain such as stroke, tumor, cerebral hemorrhage, meningitis,
and others.

Even so, not all of the diseases listed above will immediately receive a radiological examination.
Because only radiology doctors have the right to decide whether further radiological
examinations are necessary or not, so it is important here for patients to have a consultation
before carrying out a radiological examination.

The benefits of radiological examinations are to diagnose disease, treat, and as a means of
communication between doctors and patients. However, radiation radiation can also damage
cells. Therefore, doctors must disseminate radiological examinations to the public.
