A Radiologist is a specialized Physician who has completed medical school, a residency, and a fellowship in Radiology. It could take between 10-12 years to become a Radiologist. They perform an integral role in the medical system.  
   
Radiologists are highly trained professionals. They work specifically with medical imaging equipment, such as x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs), computer tomography (CTs), abdominal imaging, bone mineral densitometry, ultrasounds, and more.  
   
Radiologists are very important in the medical field because they are responsible for reading scans and diagnosing patients based on what they see. Additionally, they can be involved in the use of radiation and participate in potential life-saving diagnoses.  
   
Radiology is a continuously evolving field, and Radiologists work with rapidly advancing technology. Radiologists must be analytical and observational to excel in this field. They are highly specialized and have a strong knowledge of medicine and surgery.       
 
Personality of a Radiologist

• Extreme attention to detail  

One principal task for Radiologists is to prepare and review the x-ray scans used to diagnose patients. It means that they need to pay very close attention to detail to give an accurate diagnosis. Radiologists' determinations will substantially impact their patients, so they must be meticulous in their work.  

• Investigative  

Much of the work that a Radiologist will do involves examining and reading scans. Radiologists who take an investigative approach will be more successful in their careers and have a more significant impact when diagnosing patients and discovering abnormalities that could easily be missed.  

• Curious  

Radiologists should be inquisitive when expanding their knowledge about a diagnostic issue and in their everyday work. With new technology emerging, Radiologists need to stay up to date with what is happening in their field.
