Description of the Subject Area

Radiography is an interdisciplinary field that draws knowledge primarily from nursing, medical imaging and functional medicine, radiation physics, and medicine. Radiography involves all four areas and their interrelations.

Within the main area of radiography, individual, family, and societal perspectives are considered.
