Radiation Oncology is the fourth arm of cancer therapies which includes medical, surgical and interventional radiology. As part of a multidisciplinary team approach in the treatment of cancer and cancer related disorders, it specializes in using image guided, minimally invasive surgery, utilizing the most advanced diagnostic and molecular imaging techniques, and non-invasive therapies.

Radiology imaging is the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical radiology analysis and medical intervention. Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease.

Industrial radiologic technicians take x-rays of manufactured products, such as gas and oil pipelines, boilers and pipes, to determine their levels of durability, quality and safety. According to the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, industrial radiologic technicians must attend a radiation safety course, have on-the-job training and pass a written test, as required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and individual states. Successful completion of these requirements can lead to professional certification as an industrial radiographer.

About 60 percent of cancer patients are treated with radiation at some time during their course of treatment.  Radiation therapy which is used for high-energy radiation to treat cancer. A radiation oncologist may use radiation to cure cancer such as Breast Cancer blood cancer etc.  That uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or to relieve a cancer patient's pain or alleviate other symptoms due to the cancer. Projection images project a physical parameter in the lung cancer in human body on a 2D image which will identify the cancer stage

 Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) amended section 1834(e) of the Social Security Act .MIPPA specifically defines advanced diagnostic imaging procedures as including diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Medical Sonography, Body Imaging, Molecular imaging,  computed tomography (CT), and nuclear medicine body imaging such as positron emission tomography (PET). The law also authorizes the Secretary to specify other diagnostic imaging services in consultation with physician specialty organizations and other stakeholders.

MIPPA expressly excludes from the accreditation requirement x-ray, ultrasound, Body Imaging, Diagnostic Medical Sonography and fluoroscopy procedures. The law also excludes from the CMS accreditation requirement diagnostic and screening mammography which are subject to quality oversight by the Food and Drug Administration under the Mammography Quality Standards Act.

Medical images are pictures of distributions of physical attributes captured by an image acquisition system. Most of today’s images are digital. They may be post processed for analysis by a computer-assisted method. Medical images come in one of two varieties: Projection images project a physical parameter in the lung disease in human body on a 2D image, while slice images produce a one-to-one mapping of the measured value. International radiology conferences explore the new technologies in medical images.

Nursing practices  has become one of the major focus areas for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies because of the high unmet need for improved treatments for multiple types of cancer.For an oncologist or an oncology nurse, finding the appropriate words to comfort a family who is facing the loss of a loved one can be difficult. This section addresses how different groups—oncologists, patients, and Nurses—think about end-of-life care issues. This section discusses an oncologist's responsibility and perspective when it comes to difficult subjects such as advanced cancer, hospice, do not resuscitate orders, cytotoxic therapy, supportive care, maintaining a patient's dignity, and imminent death. Articles in this series also discuss the role of spirituality and religion at the time of death, and the importance of good communication between the oncologist and family members throughout the dying process and Radiation oncology is a medical specialty that involves treating cancer with radiation. Doctors who specialize in treating cancer with radiation (radiation oncologists) use radiation therapy to treat a wide variety of cancers. Radiation therapy uses carefully targeted and regulated doses of high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation causes some cancer cells like in case of head and neck cancer or breast cancer  die immediately after treatment, but most die because the radiation damages the chromosomes and DNA so that the cells can no longer divide and the tumor can't grow.This Session Includes Radio sensitizers, Cellular Radiation Oncology, Molecular Radiation Oncology, Palliative radiotherapy, Radiation physics and Clinical Radiation Oncology

Neuroradiology a sub-speciality of radiology focuses on the characterization and treatment of brain, spinal cord and nervous system by various image guided procedures. It uses various imaging modalities like CT scan, MRI scan, X-ray Angiography and many more to diagnosis abnormalities.

Neuroimaging is the visual representation of structure and function of brain and nervous system. It includes various techniques such as CT, MRI, and PET for diagnosis. According to the world market for Point of Care (POC) diagnostics by June 2, 2015 is $4,200 billion is the investment in neuroimaging. Multimodal neuroimaging, Statistical analysis and pattern recognition, Ultra high field imaging in neuro-oncology, Ultrasonic imaging technologies, Light sheet microscopy and computational technique for 3D imaging, Transcranial Doppler neuroimaging are the main topics of discussion under this track.

Bremsstrahlung is the major influence in most x-ray tubes with the exception of x-ray tubes for mammography. The purpose of mammography is to detect small, nonpalpable lesions in the female breast. This requires a much higher image quality than normal x-ray imaging with respect to contrast and spatial resolution. Since contrast and resolution are affected by scattering, mammography tubes reduce bremsstrahlung by suitable filtering. Furthermore, mammography tubes use a material (Molybdenum) that produces an almost monochrome x ray with peak energies around 17 to 19 keV. This would be unwanted in regular x-ray imaging as most—if not all—of the radiation would be absorbed and not reach the receptor. For the breast, however, the use of low-energy beams increases the contrast between the subtle differences of different
