Radiation Ionizing, Diagnostic Imaging
A technique for medical imaging that uses ionizing radiation like X-rays and gamma rays. Both x-rays and gamma rays are high energy, short wavelength electromagnetic radiation that are capable of penetrating and passing through most tissues. The technique is highly useful to determine the presence or absence of a specific medical condition. (NCI Thesaurus)
