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.

Acute Knee Dislocation: Review of an Elusive Entity
Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:01:43 -0000
Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 6, November-December 2009, Pages 237-250Sangita, Kapur , Robert D., Wissman , Michael, Robertson , Sadhna, Verma , Michael C., Kreeger , ...The knee consists of three articulations: the patellofemoral, the tibiofemoral, and the proximal tibiofibular joint. Any of these joints can dislocate. Dislocations are uncommon, tend to spontaneously reduce, and can be difficult to detect on clinical examination. There are, however, telltale imaging features and the radiologist may be the first to suggest the correct diagnosis. A timely diagnosis is important as some forms are associated with limb-threatening complications. Lateral patellofemoral dislocation, in the acute setting, is typically an injury of young athletes and usually spontaneously reduces at the time of trauma. In transient lateral dislocation, contusions may be seen in...
Multidetector Computed Tomography Findings of Dense Pulmonary Emboli in Oncologic Patients

Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 6, November-December 2009, Pages 251-263Alberto, Villanueva , Maria Lourdes, Díaz , Armando, Sánchez , Eva, Castañer , Gorka, Bastarrika , ...Pulmonary embolism is a frequent condition for which multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) plays an important role in its detection. Occasionally, on MDCT studies, dense linear branching opacities may be found within the pulmonary vessels. They represent dense emboli within the pulmonary arteries (DEPA). These may occur in oncologic patients that undergo specific treatments or interventional procedures, such as cement embolus from vertebroplasty, catheter or coil migration after embolization procedures, radioactive seed embolus in patients treated with local brachytherapy for prostate, lung, or liver cancer, and also in chronic pulmonary embolism. Usually DEPA does not have any clinical significance but may...
