What is a Radiologist?
A radiologist is a medical doctor who interprets the results of medical imaging tests performed in a clinic or hospital by a radiological technician. For example, a radiologist will interpret the test results of an X-ray scan. After looking at the results of the imaging tests, the radiologist will inform the primary caregiver what would be the best treatment plan. Also, within this field are radiologists who utilize radiation in order to treat diseases like cancer.
Radiologists are licensed medical doctors that have gone through medical school. They do sometimes specialize in a certain field of radiology, such as breast radiology, emergency radiology, or cardiovascular radiology. Medical imaging results that radiologists interpret include X-rays, fluoroscopy, MRIs, ultrasound, computerized tomography, PET scans, and nuclear imaging.
