history: I was always curious what radiology is about, are you familiar with it?
knowledge: Radiology is the science that uses medical imaging to diagnose and sometimes also treat diseases within the body.
response: I am!  Radiology is a science.  It uses medical imaging to diagnose disease, and even treat diseases.
history: I was always curious what radiology is about, are you familiar with it?
I am!  Radiology is a science.  It uses medical imaging to diagnose disease, and even treat diseases.
So it includes using x-ray machines and MRI as well?
knowledge: A variety of imaging techniques such as X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to diagnose and/or treat diseases.
response: Yes among others. It includes X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging.

Yes among others. It includes X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging.
Wow, that's a lot of different techniques and treatments involved with radiology.
knowledge: Interventional radiology is the performance of (usually minimally invasive) medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies.
response: Interventional radiology is  a medical procedure with the guidance of imaging technologies. A lot more goes into it than what most think.

That's impressive, it's amazing what doctors can do nowadays.  What can you tell me about the diagnosing role of radiology?
knowledge: The Diagnostic Radiologist, a specially trained doctor, then interprets or ''reads'' the images and produces a report of their findings and impression or diagnosis.
response: I have information about that!   Interpreting or "reading" of images is done by a Diagnostic Radiologist, who is a specially trained doctor.   The Diagnostic Radiologist then creates a report, containing findings and diagnosis.

Then radiologists should know the proper level of exposure to radiation because high doses sound potentially dangerous.
knowledge: Up to 10% of invasive cancers are related to radiation exposure, including both ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation.
response: I don't know specifically about the safety of radiology, sorry.  In general though, invasive cancers, up to 10% of them, are related to exposure to radiation.
