Your Radiologist
Radiologist - Your Imaging Doctor
Medical imaging studies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound (US), are powerful medical tools. Radiology is a complex science that is constantly evolving; there is one physician who is specifically trained to use imaging technology to save lives: your radiologist.
Radiologists are the only physicians specially trained to diagnose and care for patients through medical imaging studies. They help save lives and money in health care by detecting diseases early and prescribing effective treatment for cancer, cardiovascular risk, and many other diseases.
