neuroradiologists
Scan nervous systems
Neuroradiologists are physicians who specialize in diagnosing diseases of the brain, spine, and nervous system through medical imaging.
They interpret CT scans, MRIs, and angiograms to identify tumors, strokes, aneurysms, and other neurological conditions.
The neuroradiologist spotted a small bleed that the ER doctor had missed.
