radiologic
Concerning diagnostic imaging
Radiologic means relating to radiology—the medical specialty that uses imaging technologies like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs to diagnose and treat disease.
A radiologic technologist operates imaging equipment.
Radiologic findings are what doctors observe on scans.
The word is interchangeable with radiological in most contexts.
