Radiology

Radiology is about medical imaging examinations that make it possible to see inside the body – without requiring surgical intervention. Using various techniques, such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging or magnetic resonance imaging), ultrasound, X-ray and mammography, doctors and specialists can detect diseases, injuries and changes in tissues, organs and skeletons.

An MRI examination, or magnetic resonance imaging, is often used to study the brain, joints, muscles, back and internal organs. An ultrasound is used to examine the abdomen, heart, blood vessels and pregnancies, among other things – the method is completely radiation-free. And plain X-rays clearly show the skeleton, lungs and teeth, while mammography is used to detect early signs of breast cancer.

Radiology plays a central role in modern healthcare, it is used both to make diagnoses and to follow up on treatments. Here you will find articles about how the examinations are performed, when they are needed, what they show – and what the results can mean for your health.
