radiologist
Imaging scan interpreter
A radiologist is a physician who specializes in interpreting medical images—X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds—to diagnose disease and injury.
Radiologists typically work behind the scenes, reviewing images and sending reports to other doctors rather than seeing patients directly.
Some radiologists also perform image-guided procedures like biopsies.
