What is Radiology?

Radiology is a branch of medicine that uses imaging of the body's internal structures to diagnose and treat diseases. Radiology uses a variety of imaging techniques to diagnose, monitor, and plan treatment for diseases. These techniques include X-rays, computed tomography (CT), and ultrasonography (US).

X-rays (Roentgen): Used to evaluate bone fractures, joint problems, and some internal organ diseases.
Computed Tomography (CT): Provides detailed cross-sectional images and is used for detailed examination of internal organs, bones, and soft tissues.
Ultrasound (US): A radiation-free method used for examination of soft tissues, organs, and fetuses.

Bones and Joints: Fractures, dislocations, joint diseases, arthritis, osteoporosis.

Respiratory System: Lung diseases, pneumonia, tumors, pulmonary embolism.

Digestive System: Stomach and intestinal diseases, liver diseases, gallbladder stones.

Urinary System: Kidney stones, urinary tract infections, prostate problems.

Cardiovascular System: Heart diseases, vascular occlusions, aneurysms.

Nervous System: Brain and spinal cord diseases, stroke, tumors.

Women's Health: Breast tumors, ovarian cysts, pregnancy and birth processes.

Child Health: Congenital abnormalities, growth problems.

Breast Cancer: Screening and diagnosis with mammography and ultrasound.
Lung Cancer: Diagnosis and staging with CT and PET-CT.
Colorectal Cancer: Screening and evaluation with colonoscopy and CT.
Prostate Cancer: Evaluation and biopsy guidance with MRI and ultrasound.

Coronary Artery Disease: Evaluation of vascular structures with CT angiography.

Heart Failure: Evaluation of heart functions with ECHO (Echocardiography).

Aortic Aneurysm: Diagnosis and monitoring with CT and MRI.

Fractures and Dislocations: Diagnosis and treatment planning with X-ray.

Arthritis: Evaluation of joint changes with X-ray and MRI.

Low Back and Neck Pain: Diagnosis of spine and disc problems with MRI.

Stroke: Evaluation of brain tissue with CT and MRI.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Monitoring brain and spinal cord lesions with MRI.
Headaches: Investigating the causes of headaches with MRI and CT.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): Evaluation of lung changes with CT. Pneumonia: Diagnosis of lung infections with X-ray and CT.

Liver Diseases: Evaluation of the liver with CT, MRI and ultrasound.
Gallbladder Stones: Diagnosis with ultrasound.
Pancreatic Diseases: Evaluation of the pancreas with CT and MRI.

Kidney Stones: Diagnosis with ultrasound and CT. Urinary Tract Infections: Evaluation with ultrasound and radiological examinations.

Thyroid Diseases: Thyroid evaluation with ultrasound and scintigraphy (nuclear medicine).

Trauma: Evaluation of injuries resulting from trauma with X-ray and CT. Emergencies: Use of various imaging modalities for rapid and effective diagnosis.

RADIOLOGY AND CANCER

1
Early diagnosis
Radiologic imaging methods have the capacity to detect cancer in its early stages. For example, mammography can detect breast cancer in its early stages, while CT and ultrasound can show tumors or abnormalities in other organs at an early stage.
3
Diagnosis Confirmation
When suspicious lesions or abnormalities are detected, radiologic imaging may be used in conjunction with a biopsy or other tests to confirm a cancer diagnosis. For example, ultrasound-guided biopsies can help confirm cancerous cells.
5
Monitoring Treatment Response
During treatment, radiological examinations are used to monitor the response to treatment. It is important to assess whether tumors are shrinking or new lesions are appearing in order to adjust the treatment plan.
2
Determining the Degree of Spread of the Disease
Radiological examinations play a critical role in assessing whether cancer has spread to organs or lymph nodes. Imaging methods such as CT and MRI help determine the extent and stage of tumor spread, which is important for treatment planning.
4
Treatment Planning
Radiology helps plan treatment options, such as surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, by determining the size, shape and relationship of the tumor to surrounding tissues. This optimizes treatment strategies and provides more effective treatment.
6
Early Detection of Complications
Complications or side effects that may occur during treatment can be detected early with radiological examinations. This is important in order to take the necessary precautions during the treatment process.
7
Trackback and Follow
Regular radiological follow-up is performed after cancer treatment to monitor for disease recurrence or metastases. This is necessary to monitor the course of the disease and make any necessary treatment changes.
