Diagnostic radiology plays a crucial role in virtually every area of medicine, including
oncology, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, and pediatrics. Radiologists work closely with
referring physicians to determine the most appropriate imaging studies for each patient’s
condition and to interpret the results accurately. They may also perform image-guided
procedures, such as biopsies, drainage procedures, and joint injections, using imaging
modalities for precision and accuracy. Through their expertise in medical imaging and
interpretation, diagnostic radiologists contribute significantly to early detection, accurate
diagnosis, and effective treatment planning for a wide range of medical conditions.
