Hi Mudit,

Difference between Radiology and Radiography is something that confuses many people. However, if you look at words, they give you a clue.

‘Ology’ means study of, whereas ‘graphy’ simply means to take images.

So Radiography, in medical world refers to practice of taking radio images, whereas Radiology course refers to study of these images in depth, and analyzing them for diagnosis of ailments and choosing correct treatment procedures. Radiology course is then a specialty just like cardiology or urology which a student of med school takes up after completion of his MBBS program and pursues to become a radiologist, which is a term used to refer to a doctor who specializes in analyzing images obtained by a radiographer in form of X-rays and MRI scans.

Radiography, on other hand is not a specialty in medical world though it is in itself a full time profession where practitioner is all time involved with latest gadgets and machines taking images of patients in 2D and 3D to provide radiologist with a clear picture of what is inside body of a patient. In simple terms, X-rays are referred to as radiographs, so radiography refers to taking of these images. 

Radiology and Radiotherapy are two different fields within medical profession that deal with diagnosis and treatment of diseases using different techniques and technologies.
