Radiologist | Radiology Doctors in India

Using radiology helps in the painless diagnosis and monitoring of a patient’s medical conditions. It also helps doctors in understanding the medical condition, especially for doing surgical procedures.

No, they are not the same. Radiologists are doctors who are trained to read and interpret imaging scans in the context of diagnosing and assessing the patient’s medical condition. On the other hand, radiographers are medical technicians who perform the imaging tests on patients.

Radiologists mostly deal with the diagnosis of medical conditions in patients. However, some radiologists specialize in giving treatment to patients. For example, radiation oncologists specialize in treating cancer.

A specialized field of radiology called interventional radiology involves minimally invasive surgical procedures. The advantage of using interventional radiology techniques is that the radiologists can reach deep structures in the body through a body orifice or through a tiny incision using needles with decreased risk and pain as compared to open procedures.

A regular consultation with a radiologist would cost around Rs. 500 to 2,000 in India and US$ 100 to 500/– abroad.

Radiologists specialize in the detection and treatment of diseases like anemia, appendicitis, arthritis, osteoporosis, blood clots, peripheral artery disease, brain tumors, many types of cancer, pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
