Being the specialists in the field, radiologists are experts in interpreting medical images such as X-rays, mammograms, ultrasounds, CT scans, PET-CT scans, and MRIs to screen and diagnose conditions like infection, malignancy, bone fractures, stroke, and more. They play essential roles in improving patient care by interpreting medical images for the accurate identification of risk factors and diagnosis of diseases. They also provide professional opinions that supplement patient diagnosis and treatment plans, allowing primary physicians to better care for patients. Additionally, radiologists recommend separate imaging for follow-up or further examination when necessary and maintain performance standards and quality of medical imaging procedures.
