DUTIES AND FUNCTIONS

The Department of Diagnostic Imaging (Radiology) plays a vital role in diagnosing diseases and supporting the treatment process. Below are some of the main duties and functions of the department:

• Disease Diagnosis:
  One of the most important tasks is using imaging techniques such as X-ray, ultrasound, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), and CT (Computed Tomography) to diagnose diseases. Physicians analyze these images to detect signs of illness and provide diagnostic conclusions.

• Support in Treatment:
  By providing diagnostic imaging information about a patient's condition, the department assists doctors in deciding the most appropriate treatment methods.

• Surgical Planning:
  In some cases, diagnostic images are used to assist in planning surgeries, helping surgeons gain a clear understanding of the structure and location of diseases.

• Disease Screening:
  The department also conducts screening procedures to detect early signs of diseases, allowing for diagnosis before symptoms become apparent.

• Assessment of Disease Progression:
  Monitoring diagnostic images over time helps determine disease progression and evaluate treatment effectiveness.

• Research and Development:
  The department actively participates in research and development of new medical imaging technologies to improve diagnosis and treatment.

These duties and functions are crucial in providing diagnostic information and supporting patient care and treatment.
