Radiologists

Radiologists use images from X-rays and radioactive materials to examine and diagnose patients' diseases, injuries, and disorders. The images may be of a patient's body tissues, organs, or bones, and they allow attending physicians to know the exact nature of a patient's injury or disease, such as the location of a broken bone or the confirmation of an ulcer. They prepare reports of their findings and share the diagnostic information or results with physicians, patients, or families.
