I'm not very familiar with the study or practice of radiology. Do you know much about this?
I know quite a bit yes, it is the science that utilizes medical imaging to diagnose and treats diseases. Very useful science!
It is mostly used to diagnose broken bones?
Sometimes, medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures that are hidden. It is mostly for disease treatment though.
Is it used in cancer treatment as in radiation?
Yes, in some cases, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are common treatments for cancer, both of which fall under the radiology field!
How exactly does radiation therapy work with cancer treatment?
It deals with using ionizing radiation, generally as part of the cancer treatment to control and/or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator.
It is very effective in the treatment of cancer?
In some cases, but cancer is difficult to treat due to the invasion and spreading of cell growth to other parts of the body.
