People think radiology provides ground truth information about the state of the body.

This is not true for many reasons.

The most important to realize is that any given imaging modality communicates with the body along one field/medium.

E.g. ultrasound conveys information using sound (acoustics) as the medium of exchange.

Xray or CT conveys information using electron emissions.

MRI conveys information using quantum spin magnetization.

This is true with every mode of diagnostics.

The body and mind exist, and thus, communicate along many dimensions.

But, we only survey this information using a narrow selection.
