Notes

  1. 1.

    The name Radiology is itself a misnomer, since the field is involved in using ultrasound, magnetic resonance, optical, thermal, and other non-radiation imaging modalities when appropriate. Radiology departments in some institutions are thus referred to alternatively as Departments of Medical Imaging or Diagnostic Imaging.
