What does a Radiologist do?

Radiologists are Medical Specialists or Physicians who obtain and interpret medical images. Images may be obtained with nuclear medicine (involving radioactive substances), ultrasound, magnetism (MRI) or x-rays (radiographs or CT scans). Radiologists conduct medical imaging in addition to the conventional tasks of assessing patients, diagnosing illness, obtaining medical history and prescribing treatment. Because radiology is used alongside most medical specialities, a Radiologist has an in-depth understanding of the components of human health and physical anatomy.

    Radiologist job description FAQs

    What are the different types of Radiologists?

    Radiologists can specialise in either radiation oncology, vascular and interventional radiology or diagnostic radiology. They can also become certified in a range of sub-specialities, such as neuroradiology, pediatric radiology, nuclear medicine radiology, thoracic radiology and musculoskeletal imaging radiology.

    For example, Radiation Oncologists are trained in the use of radiation therapy to eliminate or reduce the symptoms of cancer and treat benign or malignant diseases. An Interventional and Vascular Radiologist can diagnose and treat malignant and benign conditions of the thorax, pelvis and abdomen using imaging and image-guided procedures that are minimally invasive.

    What is the difference between a Radiologist and a Radiologic Technologist?

    Both Radiology Technologists and Radiologists work in a hospital or clinical setting and are both healthcare professionals. Radiologists are Physicians who interpret diagnostic tests and prescribe a treatment for patients. Radiologic Technologists perform the imaging tests on patients and hand the results over to the Radiologists for interpretation.

    What qualities make a good Radiologist?

    Radiologists have distinct qualities. They’re usually investigative people, which means they are inquisitive, introspective and intellectual. They’re logical, analytical, rational, methodical and curious. They can also be practical, genuine, persistent, stable and independent, which is important for patient interactions.
