Radiology exams find application in a diverse array of conditions, with classifications based on the specific radiological type and imaging test employed. Diagnostic imaging holds a crucial position in enabling doctors to identify, treat, and exclude various conditions, injuries, and diseases within the body.
Diagnostic radiologists employ a range of imaging procedures to gain insights into the body’s internal structures and to assess or diagnose the patient’s condition. The role of your radiologist in your health is significant, providing valuable assistance in selecting the appropriate examination.
Beyond diagnostic radiology exams, interventional radiology utilizes imaging exams to guide medical procedures. Patients are typically conscious during these procedures, and in certain cases, interventional radiology obviates the necessity for surgery and scopes. A radiology exam plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis and confirmation of a variety of conditions to help facilitate prompt and effective treatment.
If your doctor requires assistance with imaging or specific specialized treatments, a radiologist will play a key role in your care. As a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions, your radiologist employs a diverse set of imaging techniques. Some of these methods involve radiation, necessitating radiation safety and protection.
The radiologist’s responsibility involves scrutinizing and interpreting images and creating a comprehensive report for your doctor based on their observations. On occasion, the radiologist might engage in a discussion with you after the exam, especially if there are concerns that require immediate attention.
Radiology serves as a pivotal diagnostic tool for numerous diseases, aiding in treatment monitoring and even facilitating predictions of specific outcomes. Given the limitations of a physical exam for various injuries and health conditions, accurate tests provided by radiology become essential for healthcare providers to diagnose issues accurately and administer appropriate treatment.
Radiologists at the Nasseri Clinic of Arthritic and Rheumatic Diseases utilize in-house state-of-the-art digital X-rays to diagnose a wide range of conditions safely and comfortably.
Various radiology services provide distinct capabilities.

Ultrasound and radiology are both imaging techniques used to assist in the early detection and diagnosis of a myriad of health conditions. The fundamental difference between the two is that radiology uses ionizing radiation to produce medical images, whereas ultrasound employs high-frequency sound waves for image generation.
Radiology and ultrasound testing may share common ground as both generate images, yet certain tests excel in capturing distinct aspects of the body. Ultrasound, for example, provides real-time images, revealing movement within the body. In contrast, X-rays produce static images. While radiology and ultrasound technologists may attend to patients for varied reasons, there is considerable overlap among the patients themselves.
At times, both tests may be useful for diagnostic confirmation. The specialists at the Nasseri Clinic of Arthritic and Rheumatic Diseases will direct patients toward the most effective diagnostic imaging tests available to identify their condition.
