Radiology is the medical specialty directing Medical Imaging technologies to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases. Traditionally it was the branch of medical science dealing with the medical use of X-rays emitted by X-ray machines or other such radiation devices for the purpose of obtaining visual information as part of medical imaging. Radiologists now also direct other imaging technologies (such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging) to diagnose or treat disease. Interventional radiology is the performance of (usually minimally invasive) medical procedures with the help of radiography (the routine, technical aspects of Medical Imaging are known as Radiography and are carried out by the Radiographer or Radiologic Technologist).

Outside of the medical field, radiology also encompasses the examination of the inner structure of objects using X-rays or other penetrating radiation.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Visualization of Benign Tumors and Tumor-like Lesions of Hand and Wrist
Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:29:23 -0000
Publication year: 2010Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 39, Issue 1, January-February 2010, Pages 1-16Tarkan, Ergun , Hatice, Lakadamyali , Alihan, Derincek , Nefise, Cagla Tarhan , Ahmet, OzturkThe differential diagnosis of benign tumors and tumor-like lesions of the hand and wrist region is important with regard to choosing the therapy (medical versus surgical), or to decide to just follow-up the lesion. In most of the cases the proper analysis of MRI findings in correlation with the patient's history is sufficient to meet a specific diagnosis. However, diagnostic confusion is not uncommon as there are numerous lesions affecting the hand and wrist region. This pictorial essay offers a practical radiological approach to benign tumors and tumor-like lesions of the hand and wrist region based on most frequently observed...
Cross-Sectional Imaging of Primary Thoracic Sarcomas with Histopathologic Correlation: A Review for the Radiologist
Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:29:23 -0000
Publication year: 2010Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 39, Issue 1, January-February 2010, Pages 17-29Jonathan R., Dillman , Perry G., Pernicano , Jonathan B., McHugh , Anil K., Attili , Bassem, Mourany , ...Numerous forms of primary sarcoma can arise from the heart, pericardium, great vessels, lungs, chest wall, and breasts. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography currently play important roles in determining the extent of primary thoracic sarcoma involvement, potential for resectability, and response to therapy. The purpose of this article is to review the various forms of primary sarcoma that may affect the thorax as well as illustrate pertinent cross-sectional radiologic findings with histopathologic correlation.
Cutaneous Melanoma: Role of Ultrasound in the Assessment of Locoregional Spread
Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:29:23 -0000
Publication year: 2010Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 39, Issue 1, January-February 2010, Pages 30-36Orlando, Catalano , Alfredo, SianiThis article illustrates the various aspects of locoregional spread of cutaneous melanoma, as imaged with grayscale ultrasound (US) and Doppler techniques. High-resolution US allows recognition of small, clinically occult melanomatous foci within the skin and lymph nodes. Consequently, it plays a major role in locoregional staging and follow-up of patients with cutaneous melanoma. We discuss the possibilities and limitations of US in the initial staging (primary melanoma, satellite metastasis, in-transit metastasis, and lymphadenopathy), selection for sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure, patient follow-up, detection of recurrence, and US-guided intervention.
