What is a radiologist?

Radiologists are physicians who specialize in all aspects of imaging the body. This includes exams used to diagnose abnormalities and in performing biopsies of tissues that require imaging guidance (example: biopsies of breast lesions that cannot be felt). Radiologists understand radiation safety issues and the methods by which images are acquired, which makes them uniquely qualified to interpret imaging studies and to perform image guided biopsies.

Radiologists have 4-6 years of specialized training after earning a medical degree. Those who read mammograms have additional training solely devoted to breast imaging. To maintain certification to read mammograms, the radiologist must read many mammograms a year, maintain continuing education credits pertinent to mammography and are subjected to medical audits. Statistical results are compared to local and national results.
