An interventional radiologist combines competence in imaging, image-guided minimally invasive procedures and periprocedural patient care to diagnose and treat benign and malignant conditions of the thorax, abdomen, pelves, and extremities. Therapies include embolization, angioplasty, stent placement, thrombus management, drainage, and ablation, among others. Training includes a minimum of three years of Diagnostic Radiology and two years of Interventional Radiology, leading to primary certification in Interventional Radiology/Diagnostic Radiology. An interventional radiologist also may specialize in one of the following subspecialty areas:

• Hospice and Palliative Medicine
• Neuroradiology
• Nuclear Radiology
• Pain Medicine
• Pediatric Radiology

Radiology is one of the most technologically advanced fields in medicine. Since the discovery of the X-ray in 1895, radiology has been at the forefront of minimally invasive medical imaging.

Medical imaging procedures include:

• Plain film or digital X-ray imaging
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Computed tomography (CT) scans
• Fluoroscopy
• Breast imaging (including mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI and digital imaging of the breast)
• Nuclear medicine procedures (including positron emission tomography [PET] and single-photon emission computed tomography [SPECT] scans)
• Imaging of the colon (including virtual CT colonography and barium enema)
• Interventional radiology (both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using catheters)
• Ultrasonography (using high-frequency waves to produce an image for medical analysis)

A radiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury using medical imaging technologies. Radiation oncologists treat diseases through the medical use of ionizing radiation. Interventional radiologists use minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat disease.

Radiologists often find problems early by interpreting results of imaging studies or correlating medical image findings with other examinations and tests. They also provide diagnoses to referring physicians and direct radiologic technologists in the proper performance of quality procedures. In addition, they act as expert consultants to the referring physician by aiding in the choice of proper imaging techniques, interpreting medical images, generating reports, and using test results to recommend further tests or treatments.

Journal of Medical Physics and Applied Sciences is an academic journal and aims to publish most complete and reliable source of information on the discoveries and current developments in the mode of original articles, review articles, case reports, short communications, etc. The journal invites different types of articles including original research article, review articles, short note communications, case reports, Editorials, letters to the Editors and expert opinions & commentaries from different regions for publication. A standard editorial manager system is utilized for manuscript submission, review, editorial processing and tracking which can be securely accessed by the authors, reviewers and editors for monitoring and tracking the article processing. It publishes all relevant topics in the area of cancer. Manuscripts can be forwarded to the Editorial Office at online or as an attachment to email medicalsci@scholarlymed.com
