Radiography is a profession that uses ionizing radiation to create images of the human body. Radiographers are trained to take X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans. They work in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings.
Radiology is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases using ionizing radiation. Radiologists interpret X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and other medical images to diagnose diseases and injuries. They also use radiation therapy to treat cancer.

How many years can you study radiography in unn? Please what is the difference between radiography and radiological science and just radiography,or are they the same thing?
Radiology and radiography are two different things but they are almost the same.The difference is that radiographers are not regarded as medical doctors rather a radiologic technologist.In unn, radiographers almost study the same thing that radiologists do.I even sense that in the nearest future they might begin to write MBBS and then become medical doctors.However for now, you can study medical radiography,then after graduation, you can do masters in radiology, and still become a radiologist if you wish to
Thank you for this enlightenment
Medical Radiography and Radiological sciences are the same.
It is a five (5) years course.
