    Author: Church EJ.
    Journal: Radiol Technol; 2001; 73(2):139-64; quiz 169-71. PubMed ID: 11764549.
    Abstract:
    The use of illicit substances is a worldwide problem. In the United States alone, governmental agencies spend more than $30 billion per year combatting drug abuse. While the war on drugs affects every citizen in one way or another, radiologic technologists have become active participants in the effort. This article offers an overview of common street drugs and discusses the role of medical imaging in diagnosing drug-related injuries and chronic conditions, studying the physiology of addiction and aiding law enforcement.
