As a dedicated radiologist, she uses medical imaging technology in order to diagnose and treat various injuries and illnesses. She then consults with other doctors to ensure that a patient receives the appropriate treatment. She interprets the results of the tests performed by the technicians, and later on consults with the primary physician of a patient.

Most of the time, radiologists are referred to as the people behind the scenes. The moment you step into a hospital, you get in touch with a doctor. You also go through some laboratory tests to see what your condition is. Before you are informed of the treatment that you need to have, a radiologist interprets the results of the tests and collaborates with your physician. Their skill in interpreting data is very important as the treatment that will be suggested by a physician depends on those results.
