A radiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in interpreting medical images to diagnose and treat diseases. They use various imaging technologies such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, and nuclear medicine to provide insights into internal structures of the body.

Patients typically do not directly see radiologists. Instead, referring physicians order imaging studies, and radiologists interpret the results. You may be referred for imaging if your doctor suspects a specific medical condition that requires further investigation.

Radiologists interpret a wide range of medical imaging studies, including X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, mammograms, nuclear medicine scans, and fluoroscopy. They play a crucial role in diagnosing conditions and guiding treatment plans based on these images.

Radiologists analyze medical images using their expertise to identify abnormalities, assess the severity of conditions, and provide detailed reports to referring physicians. They collaborate with healthcare teams to guide appropriate treatment and intervention strategies.

Radiologists may perform certain minimally invasive procedures, known as interventional radiology procedures, such as biopsies, angiography, and image-guided surgeries. However, their primary role is interpreting medical images rather than directly conducting patient procedures.

Typically, patients do not directly consult with radiologists. Referring physicians, such as primary care doctors or specialists, order imaging studies and receive the radiologist's interpretation to guide further diagnosis and treatment. Patients interact more directly with their referring physicians.
