- Do I need a referral from my doctor to have an imaging study interpreted by Dr. Huang?

- What does a Radiologist actually do? Do they take the pictures?
- A Radiologist (like Dr. Huang) 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. While skilled technologists operate the imaging equipment to take the pictures, the Radiologist is the expert physician who analyzes these images to provide a diagnosis. 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. Huang specializes in these image-guided procedures. If your case involves interventional procedures, she may perform or coordinate these minimally invasive treatments based on your diagnostic imaging results.
