Diagnostic Radiologist
Radiology is a
medical specialty in which a variety of radiologic methodologies are used to
diagnose and treat diseases. Diagnostic radiology encompasses a variety of
diagnostic and image guided therapeutic techniques, including all aspects of
radiological diagnosis (nuclear radiology, diagnostic ultrasound, magnetic
resonance, computed tomography, interventional procedures, and the use of other
forms of radiant energy). Physicians studying diagnostic radiology are
primarily hospital based and can specialize in a number of areas, including:
vascular interventional; neuroimaging and intervention; abdominal imaging and
intervention; nuclear medicine; chest and cardiac imaging; pediatric imaging;
and mammography. The radiologist's role has grown not only through great
improvements in diagnosis, but also through the technological developments that
permit numerous interventional radiology procedures. A diagnostic radiologist
is the eye of medicine, helping the primary care physician diagnose and treat
diseases.Salary: $61,000 – $84,000
Education:
Aspiring diagnostic radiologists complete a 4-year bachelor's degree program. Then they must complete four years of medical school followed by several years of residency training in radiology.
I would not like to work or specialize in diagnostic
radiologist because it seems like a difficult job for someone to work in.
