Radiologists use equipment like the MRI, X-ray or ultrasound to take medical images.
Radiology is the study of the human body through medical images. These medical images were originally taken through X-rays, but technological advances have provided other tools such as ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the use of computers. Radiologists are physicians who have completed additional training in radiology. Schools offering these programs often include a residency (long-term paid internship), fellowships and research experience.
