What do Diagnostic Radiology Physicians do?
Diagnostic radiology physicians, or diagnostic radiologists, interpret medical images like X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases and injuries.
They review images to find abnormalities, recommend further exams or treatments, create radiology reports for other doctors, and may even use image-guided, minimally invasive procedures to treat conditions.
Responsibilities
Image Interpretation: They analyze medical images from various modalities, including:
- Plain X-rays
- Computed Tomography (CT) scans
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Ultrasound
- Nuclear medicine (such as PET scans)
- Mammography
Diagnosis and Treatment Recommendations: Radiologists identify diseases or injuries and then recommend the following steps, such as more imaging or specific treatments, to the referring physician.
Collaboration with Referring Physicians: They act as medical consultants, providing essential information to the healthcare team to aid in patient care.
Reporting: They create detailed radiology reports for other doctors involved in a patient’s care.
Performing Image-Guided Procedures: Some diagnostic radiologists are interventional radiologists who use imaging to guide minimally invasive procedures like biopsies, placing lines and tubes, or treating conditions such as blood clots.
Selecting Appropriate Exams: They determine the best type of imaging exam to use for a particular patient condition.
Common Subspecialties
Diagnostic radiologists can specialize in specific areas, including:
- Emergency Radiology: (diagnosis of trauma and emergency conditions)
- Abdominal Imaging
- Cardiothoracic Imaging
- Musculoskeletal Imaging
- Neuroradiology: (imaging of the brain and nervous system)
- Pediatric Radiology
- Mammography: (breast imaging)
