Quiz: Take This Important Radiology Test - Quiz

Quiz: Take this important radiology test. When it comes to viewing the inside of the boy without cutting it up, radiology is the next best thing at diagnosing most patients. Is this is done through x-rays, or is it just all about MRIs? To test just how much you know about radiology, we have prepared the comprehensive quiz below. How about you try it out!
