My purpose in creating this blog is to help those who find themselves in a Radiology Department in an emergency and/or trauma situation feel informed and less fearful of what may happen. Before the fall of 2000, the Radiology Department was just another hallway in the hospital to me. I had never had an x-ray and so really had no knowledge of what took place there. I just figured it was somewhere people went after breaking bones so the doctors could know how to fix it.

With the accumulation of knowledge and understanding from the doctor, the technologist, and you yourself, it is now time to examine the benefits and risks associated with some individual modalities associated with the field of Radiography. There are X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT, or CAT scan), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound, and Mammography, just to name a few.
