Radiology is the medical specialty that uses medical imaging to diagnose and treat diseases within the human body.
The most common types of diagnostic radiology include:
- Computed tomography (CT), also known as a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan, including CT angiography
- Fluoroscopy, including upper GI and barium enema
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
- Mammography
- Nuclear medicine, which includes such tests as a bone scan, thyroid scan, and thallium cardiac stress test
- Plain x-rays, which includes chest x-ray
- Positron emission tomography, also called PET imaging, PET scan, or PET-CT when it is combined with CT
- Ultrasound

I would also think that you may have to use a CT Machine and PET machine depending on the types of issues. If this is the field you would like to pursue, I wish you good luck in your endeavor.
