What duties does a radiologist have?

Answer 1

The scope of performance in Radiologist technology includes, but is not limited to, the following areas and responsibilities: Patient Care: The exercise of judgment to assess and respond to patients needs prior to, during and following procedures. Quality Control: The evaluation and maintenance of a quality control program to ensure instrumentation credibility and reliability. Diagnostic Procedures: The utilization of appropriate technique to ensure quality diagnostic images and/or laboratory results. Radiation Safety: The use of techniques and education that will minimize radiation exposure to patients and health care personnel.

Answer 2

Radiologist usually uses imaging technologies like ultrasound, X-ray, radiography to diagnose and treat the diseases that are visualized within the body. A radiologist then reads the images and produces the reports of their findings or diagnosis.

Answer 3

Radiologists are physicians who specialize in diagnosing disease by obtaining and interpreting a variety of medical images. These images can be obtained by using x rays, radioactive substances, sound waves, or other techniques.

In short, Radiologists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and repair of disease processes. Much of radiology is a "hands-on" experience.

Answer 4

Normal daily tasks for radiologists include:

1. Obtaining patient histories from patient interviews, electronic records, referring clinicians or dictated reports

2. Preparing comprehensive reports of findings

3. Performing diagnostic imaging procedures, such as MRI, CT, PET, ultrasound,5. or mammography

4. Reviewing the information gathered from diagnostic imaging procedures

5. Communicating the results of the diagnostic information to physicians and patients

Often, radiologists work more than 40 hours per week and have a set schedule or routine. They work inside and will likely be exposed to radiation, infections, and disease. As a radiologist, you will be required to wear specialized protective equipment often.

Other Tasks Performed by Radiologists. While these daily tasks will be performed most often, radiologists also perform certain tasks on a weekly or monthly basis. These tasks may include:

1. Supervising and teaching medical students

2. Treating complications after or during a procedure, such as pain, bleeding, blood pressure issues or over sedation

3. Attending continuing medical education (CME) conferences

4. Performing interventional procedures including percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, nephrostomy catheter placement, image-guided biopsy or transhepatic biliary drainage.

Answer 5

Radiologists are scientists that specialize in the medical branch that uses radiation and radioactivity in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Answer 6

they take x-rays of patients and then diagnose them.
