Body Imaging (or gastrointestinal radiology) is a sub-specialty of radiology which images and treats the digestive tract, stomach, intestines, and abdominal region (its major systems and organs are kidneys, liver, urinary tract, pancreas, and prostate). Because of the extended range of organs being examined and treated this subspecialty is often called abdominal imaging.

Among the duties of GI radiologists are to examine patients’ organs using x-ray, fluoroscopic and other equipment, to diagnose illnesses based on the imaging and other related tests, to recommend treatment plans.
