Medical radiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the production and interpretation of radiological images for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It is also called diagnostic radiology or radiodiagnostics. These terms are in fact equivalent and derive from the basic principle for obtaining radiological images, i.e. the use of ionizing radiation.
Since they are not the only form of energy that can be used to obtain diagnostic images, the term diagnostic imaging is currently preferred, underlining how medical radiology should actually be framed in the wider field of imaging sciences.
