The medical specialty concerned with the use of imaging procedures such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose and treat diseases.

For a precise examination of the broken bone, the patient was referred to radiology.
The word consists of the prefix 'Radio-', which refers to radiation, and the ending '-logie' (-logy), which means 'study' or 'science'. So it is the 'study of the application of radiation' in medicine.
Die moderne Radiologie verwendet nicht nur Röntgenstrahlen, sondern auch Magnetfelder.
Modern radiology uses not only X-rays, but also magnetic fields.
As a hospital department, 'Radiologie' (radiology) is used with the prepositions 'in' or 'in die'. 'In die Radiologie' describes movement there (accusative), while 'in der Radiologie' describes the location (dative).
Der Arzt schickt mich zur Abklärung in die Radiologie.
The doctor is sending me to radiology for clarification.
The word family includes the doctor, 'der Radiologe' (male radiologist) or 'die Radiologin' (female radiologist), and the adjective 'radiologisch' (radiological). This knowledge helps you understand related terms in a medical context.

Radiologie refers to the medical specialty or the corresponding department for imaging procedures. Durchleuchten, by contrast, refers to the specific examination in which radiation makes the inside visible. Radiologie is therefore appropriate for the department responsible, while durchleuchten is used for the action being performed.
Für die Untersuchung wird der Patient in die Radiologie geschickt.
The patient is sent to radiology for the examination.
Bei der Untersuchung durchleuchtet die Ärztin den Brustkorb des Patienten.
