- What does a Radiologist actually do? Do they take the pictures?
- A Radiologist (like Dr. Hartery) is a medical doctor who has completed extensive specialty training in interpreting all types of medical images (X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, etc.) to diagnose diseases and injuries. They provide a written report of their findings to your doctor.

Some Radiologists (Interventional Radiologists) also perform image-guided minimally invasive procedures.
- What is Interventional Radiology?
- Interventional Radiology is a subspecialty of radiology where physicians use medical imaging (like X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI) to guide minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis (e.g., biopsies) or treatment of a wide range of conditions in nearly every organ system. These procedures are often alternatives to open surgery. Dr. Hartery specializes in these image-guided procedures. He interprets diagnostic images that may lead to referral for such procedures.
