The Discipline of Clinical Radiology is concerned with the use of conventional and newer techniques in the diagnosis, investigation and treatment of patients, using image guidance. Typically this will involve cross sectional imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scanning and MRI scanning, and on the treatment arm, the use of the burgeoning specialty of interventional radiology utilizing image guidance to guide treatment.
