Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain radiology and its modalities and subspecialties, describe what imaging examinations involve in general terms, relay radiation safety information, and route personal results and decisions to clinicians.

The medical specialty that uses imaging such as X-rays, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and nuclear medicine to diagnose and, in interventional radiology, treat disease, with subspecialties including abdominal, gastrointestinal, dental and urological radiology, and historical techniques such as electrokymography; radiologists interpret images, radiographers acquire them, and the field is regulated for radiation safety and professional standards.

What it is for: Medical imaging for diagnosis and treatment.

It can be explain modalities and subspecialties; describe examinations generally; relay radiation safety information; route personal questions.
