Radiology and Medical Imaging Procedures:

Basic facts about the field of radiology and specific medical imaging procedures can be found on the “About Radiology” page on the ACR website, which has links to a patient resource for information about diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy procedures.  For example, you can learn about the purpose of a procedure, the type of equipment used, how the procedure works, as well as information about the benefits vs. the risks.
