What is a
Radiologist? |

Radiologists are physicians who specialize in diagnosing disease by obtaining
and interpreting a variety of medical images. These images can be obtained by using x rays, radioactive substances,
sound waves, or other techniques
All of our radiologists are Board Certified by the American Board of Radiology. Many are certified in subspecialty
areas such as: Nuclear Medicine, Neuroradiology, Angiography, and Interventional Radiology. The subspecialty areas
of our radiologists cover the full spectrum of radiologic procedures which allows for extensive consultation and
expertise. In more difficult cases, your exam my be evaluated by two or more radiologists. We have a sophisticated
communications system which allows studies to be rapidly transferred form one site to another to allow for subspecialty
expertise.
In short, Radiologists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and repair of disease processes. Much of
radiology is a "hands-on" experience. |
