Your Radiologist Your radiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disease and injury, using medical imaging techniques such as x-rays, computed tomography CT , magnetic resonance imaging MRI , nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography PET , fusion imaging, and ultrasound.
Your Radiologist Plays a Key Role in Your Healthcare By: Acting as an expert consultant to your referring physician the doctor who sent you to the radiology department or clinic for testing by aiding him or her in choosing the proper examination, interpreting the resulting medical images, and using test results to direct your care.
Treating diseases by means of radiation radiation oncology or minimally invasive, image-guided therapeutic intervention interventional radiology. Correlating medical image findings with other examinations and tests.
