What is a radiologist?

A radiologist is a physician specialized in interpreting imaging studies of the body, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds.

They work alongside your treating physician: the radiologist analyzes the images and produces a report that helps define your diagnosis and treatment.

When does a radiologist step in?

  • Your doctor orders an X-ray to evaluate bones or lungs.
  • You need a CT scan or MRI for a more detailed diagnosis.
  • An ultrasound is needed to evaluate internal organs or a pregnancy.
  • An image-guided procedure, such as a biopsy.
  • Follow-up of an already-diagnosed condition with periodic studies.

Types of studies they interpret

  • X-rays
  • CT scans
  • MRI
  • Ultrasound
  • Image-guided procedures (biopsies, drainage)

What to expect when you get an imaging study

You don't usually schedule an appointment directly with the radiologist — your doctor orders the study, and you go in to have it done with the Imaging team.

The radiologist interprets the images and sends a report to your doctor, who explains the results at your next visit — a useful thing to plan for if you're combining imaging with a trip.

In some cases, the radiologist also performs image-guided procedures, like a biopsy, working directly with you during the procedure.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an appointment for an imaging study?

It depends on the study; some require a prior appointment and others can be done the same day. Message us on WhatsApp to check availability.

When do I get my results?

Timing varies by study type; your treating doctor is the one who explains results, usually at your next visit or sooner if urgent.

Are imaging studies risky?

Most (ultrasound, MRI) don't use radiation and are very safe; X-rays and CT scans use controlled, safe radiation doses for diagnosis.

Can I get a copy of my images?
Yes, you can usually request a digital or printed copy of your studies; ask at the Imaging department when you have the study done.
