claims, legal actions, and utilization reviews
cardiodiagnostics (ECG/EKG)
performs ECG/EKG or actual recordings of the electrical currents detectable from the
heart, Holter monitoring, and stress testing for diagnosis and monitoring of therapy in
cardiovascular patients
, pathology and clinical laboratory
performs highly automated and often complicated testing on blood and other bodily fluid
to detect and diagnose disease, monitor treatments, and assess health
electroneurodiagnostic technology (ENT) or electroencephalography (EEG)
performs EEGs, tracings that measure electrical activity of the brain; uses techniques
like ambulatory EEG monitoring, evoked potentials, polysomnography (sleep studies),
and brain wave mapping to diagnose and monitor neurophysiological disorders
occupational therapy (OT)
uses techniques designed to develop or assist mentally, physically, or emotionally
disabled patients to maintain daily living skills

diagnoses medical conditions by taking x-rays of various parts of the body; uses
powerful forms of imaging that don't involve radiation hazards (US,MRI,PET)
nuclear medicine
branch of radiology; administering a radioactive "medicine", then examining the pattern
of radiation emitted as the medicine passes through or localizes in different parts of the
body
radiation therapy
uses large doses of ionizing radiation to treat cancer patients
dosimetry
further specialization of radiation therapy technology; works closely with physicians and
oncologists to plan the optimal course of treatment for cancer patients
allergy and immulology - allergist and immunologist
disorders of the immune system resulting in hypersensitivity
anesthesiology - anesthesiologist
partial or complete loss of sensation, usually by injection or inhalation
cardiology - cardiologist
