Q |
A
radiologist is a medical doctor who
specializes in diagnostic radiology.
A radiologist is specially trained to
interpret imaging exams or procedures to
diagnose or treat your condition.
Although radiologists are rarely seen by
the patient, they play an important role
in the overall health care equation.
They supply your doctor with the
information needed to provide the
appropriate treatment or care based on
the results of your imaging exam.

the American Board of Radiology.

|
Q |
Will I have to miss
work? |
|
Q |
Most of our
procedures are routine and allow you to
immediately return to work. There are
some procedures that requires bed rest.
We also provide Saturday and after hours
on some locations. The amount of time
you will miss from work depends on the
procedure and you, the individual. |
|
Q |
Indeed, if
your doctor has referred you for a
diagnostic procedure, he / she feels the
small amount of radiation is less
harmful than an undiagnosed problem or
disease. |
|
Q |
Do the treatments
hurt? |
|
Q |
Most of the
diagnostic procedures involve no
discomfort whatsoever. However, some of
the more invasive procedures may cause
some mild discomfort. |
