  3. CCardiology

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) Cardiology

Explanation

A Cath lab (catheterization laboratory) is where heart procedures like angiography, angioplasty and pacemaker insertion are performed.

These fall under Cardiology, the branch of medicine that diagnoses and treats diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Pathology deals with tissue/fluid testing and Nuclear Medicine uses radioisotopes, so neither houses the Cath lab.
