Diagnostic Radiologist
Education Radiologists use medical
imaging technologies, such as X-rays, CT scans and MRIs, to diagnose and make
treatment decisions regarding patients' health problems. Radiologists are fully
licensed physicians who complete at least eleven years of higher education,
which includes an undergraduate degree program, Doctor of Medicine program and a residency. Additionally, all
medical doctors must be licensed to practice. Many choose to become certified
by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Salary: $273,980
Duties and responsibilities: Radiologists
are physicians who use cutting-edge imaging technology to examine organs and
tissues inside the body in gentle, noninvasive ways. Their expertise in
physics, anatomy and the disease process allow them to diagnose injuries and
illnesses so treatment can begin. A growing subset of these specialists called
interventional radiologists performs surgical procedures under imaging guidance
in order to minimize damage to healthy tissue.
Reflection: i would like to become a radiologist because it seems interesting and cool to work at that.
