Career Overview
Radiologists are specialists in the diagnosis of disease through the procurement and interpretation of medical images through the different imaging techniques such as x-rays, MRI and CT scans.
As a radiologist, you will then correlate the findings gathered in the images into case files with the results of other examinations and tests, and make determinations about further examinations or testing necessary for treatment and diagnosis.
