Radiologists - read or "interpret" x-rays and other imaging. Many perform invasive proceedures relating to diagnostic imaging.

As far as "need" - other specialties can do those same functions as well. Radiologists spend all their working time in the effort so theoretically should be more proficient and accurate in the taske if they put in their best effort.
