What Are The Types of Radiology Procedures?

There are two types of Radiology Procedures i.e.

Diagnostic Radiology Procedures: Diagnostic Radiology Procedures involve X-Rays, CT (Computed Tomography) Scans, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), Ultrasound, Fluoroscopy, Nuclear Medicine Scans, and Molecular Imaging.

Interventional Radiology Procedures: There are many interventional radiology procedures available. In many situations, these “minimally invasive” techniques can replace more invasive measures (like surgery) that doctors utilized in the past. These strategies may have rare complications, including causing less discomfort, smaller incisions (cuts), and assisting people in recuperating more quickly than possible. They are frequently less costly.
