Tavallisimpia radiologisia kuvantamismenetelmiä eli modaliteetteja ovat röntgenkuvaus, tietokonekerroskuvaus eli tietokonetomografia

(lyhenne TT tai englanninkielinen CT), ultraääni, magneettikuvaus (MRI) ja isotooppilääketieteen menetelmät. Viimeksi mainittuihin kuuluvat muun muassa aineenvaihduntaa kuvantavat positroniemissiotomografia (PET) ja yksifotoniemissiotomografia (SPECT). Eri kuvantamismenetelmillä on kullakin vahvuutensa ja heikkoutensa, joiden vuoksi ne soveltuvat eri käyttötarkoituksiin.
