Radiology - Biotech, Pharma and Life Science Channel
Radiology is the branch of medicine that studies imaging of the body; X-ray (basic, angiography, barium swallows), ultrasound, MRI, CT and PET. These imaging techniques can be used to diagnose, but also to treat a range of conditions, by allowing visualization of a surgical procedure.
Advances in this field have been great in the last two decades, and are set to continue to develop.
