Radiologists are physicians who performs and interprets diagnostic imaging tests and interventional procedures or treatments that involve the use of X-ray‚ ultrasound‚ and magnetic resonance imaging equipment. People often confuse between radiologists and radiologic technologists/radiology technicians‚ though there is a clear distinction between these two: technicians carry out the process of obtaining the images whereas radiologists take charge of interpreting the results. After the images are interpreted

development occurs? People often wonder why it seems like their teens have been invaded by another body or why their baby suddenly wants to be separate from them. A study done by Dr. Jay Giedd who ran a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on his own son shows some of the difference. An MRI is a magnetic field used to excite the atoms in the body and the energy emitted by these atoms is used to construct a computer-generated picture of the brain. (Pastorino) The MRI was used to show stages of the brain
