Abstract
Radiology is often a core part of patient care in both a hospital and community settings. It is a multi-disciplined speciality that functions in a dynamic and exciting working environment. The aim of this chapter is to provide students with a basic introduction to the role of the radiologist and important practical concepts applicable in a radiology department. Fundamental terminology for describing each modality are outlined to help the student acquire basic “radiological” fluency.
