UMC's Radiology department performs over 200,000 procedures a year and provides support to each Center of Excellence with state-of-the-art technology.

Radiology is the branch of medicine that uses radioactive substances, electromagnetic radiation and sound waves to create images of the body, its organs and structures for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. Images can also show how effective the body and its internal organs and structures are functioning.

Specialty areas of radiology at UMC include:

• Diagnostic Radiology
  
  • An area of radiology that uses external radiation to produce images of the body, its organs, and other internal structures for medical diagnostic purposes.

• Nuclear Medicine
  
  • A specialized area of diagnostic radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials to create an image of the body, its organ functions and structure, for diagnostic and treatment purposes.

• Interventional Radiology
  
  • A specialized area of radiology that uses various imaging techniques to guide the insertion of small instruments and tools through the body to identify and treat a medical disorder without requiring conventional surgery.
