Radiology is vital medical imaging (x-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI, etc.) essential for healthcare. Over half the world lacks radiology, impacting diagnosis and treatment of cancer, heart disease, infections, trauma, maternal-infant complications, and much more. RAD-AID brings radiology to low-resource areas by delivering education, equipment, infrastructure, and support.
