Almost everyone who goes to see a doctor or is admitted to a hospital goes to the Imaging or Radiology Department so that the radiologists can look beneath the skin into the depths of the body. With an ever-growing list of new technologies (X-rays, sound waves, magnets, isotopes, and more), this diagnostic imaging can reveal what ails you. And in many cases, these highly trained physicians using minimally invasive procedures, can provide treatment without a knife. A group of internationally known faculty from UCSF’s Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging will discuss how current imaging strategies can prevent, diagnose and treat an amazing array of important conditions.
