Common radiology imaging techniques include X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, mammograms, fluoroscopy, nuclear medicine scans, and interventional radiology procedures.
X-rays use ionizing radiation to produce images of bones and some soft tissues. CT scans use X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. MRIs use magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues and organs without radiation exposure.
Preparation for a radiology procedure depends on the specific test being performed. Patients may need to fast, avoid certain medications, drink contrast agents, or wear specific clothing. It’s essential to follow any instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
The time it takes to receive results from a radiology test varies depending on the type of test and the healthcare facility. In some cases, results may be available immediately, while in others, they may take a few days to be interpreted and reported by a radiologist.
While radiation exposure during radiology procedures is generally considered safe, repeated exposure may increase the risk of long-term effects such as cancer. Healthcare providers use techniques to minimize radiation exposure, and the benefits of accurate diagnosis usually outweigh the risks.
