Radiology is a medical specialty that employs the use of imaging to both diagnose and treat disease visualised within the human body. Radiologists use an array of imaging technologies (such as x-ray radiography , ultrasound , computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine , positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose or treat diseases. Interventional radiology is the performance of (usually minimally invasive ) medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies. The acquisition of medical imaging is usually carried out by the radiographer or radiologic technologist .

Do I need to worry about these findings? In the impression of the report the radiologist mentions that all of the rest of the scan was fine. Thanks.
