Radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques such as X-rays, ultrasound, MRI, and CT scans to diagnose and treat diseases and injuries within the body. These images help healthcare providers understand the internal structures and functioning of organs and tissues.

Preparation instructions vary depending on the specific procedure. Your healthcare provider or our staff will provide you with detailed instructions beforehand. Typically, preparations might include fasting, wearing specific clothing, or avoiding certain medications.
