 Radiologist(s)
A Radiologist is a medical doctor who is specially trained to provide interpretation of imaging exams and procedures used to diagnose various medical conditions. Radiologists supply your doctor with the information necessary to provide the appropriate treatment or care based on the results of your imaging exam. Although patients do not always see Radiologists, they play a vital and important role in the overall healthcare equation.
