- What does a Radiologist actually do? Do they take the pictures?
- A Radiologist (like Dr. Murray) 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.
