Radiology

Radiology is an energy that is distributed in a given space. Its propagation is in the form of waves. It has several sources, such as the sun and some types of devices. Radiology is one of the medical methods used to detect an individual’s illness. The type of radiation function they perform.

Radiation types

  • These rays are used to detect the presence of fractures in one of the bones of the human body. This type gives a normal image and is printed on a film board. The size of the film is proportional to the part that was filmed. When exposed to the body, The larger the body, the greater the absorption, and after the exit of this radiation from the body falls on the piece of the film and burn, shows us the injury in the exact form.
  • This is a type of radiation, in which the patient is injected with water-like fluid where the liquid is rich in iodine, or milk-like liquid is rich in barium. The patient may take this liquid orally, and This fluid prevents the penetration of the rays of the body, thus showing images of the white pigment in the body, and this type of radiation is very similar to the shadow, and it should be noted that they are used to portray veins, urinary system, kidney, uterus, where these areas are injected directly , Also to clean the body of its liquid Be through the urine.
  • It is used to detect injuries and diseases in certain parts of the body, such as the abdomen, neck, spine, and chest, in addition to the small parts that are widely dispersed in the body, such as the renal gland, the pituitary gland, This type of imaging also helps to detect bleeding in both the chest and abdomen, and in some cases of imaging parts of the body, especially the chest and abdomen, and provides the patient oral color material, and intravenous injection.
  • Ultrasound, and this type of radiation depends on the ultrasound waves, where these waves are directed at the body, at varying frequencies, and are recorded frequency with high-sensitivity devices.
  • The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), through which the parts and organs of the body are photographed in the form of small sections, through a CT device designed for this type of radiation, and is used in the detection of soft tissue in the breast, uterus, brain, spinal cord, Joints.
  • Interventional Radiology.
  • Atomic scanning rays.
