A Radiologist is different from other physicians because he or she diagnoses diseases by obtaining and interpreting medical images. Some images are obtained by using x-rays or radioactive substances, others by means of sound waves or the body's natural magnetism. A Radiologist correlates medical image findings with other examinations and tests, recommends further examinations or treatments, and confers with referring physicians. Radiologists also treat some diseases by means of minimally invasive, image-guided surgery (interventional radiology).

Like other physicians, the radiologist must have graduated from an accredited medical school, passed a licensing examination, and completed at least 4 years of graduate medical education (residency). All the Radiologists practicing at Roper St. Francis healthcare are board certified, that is, have taken and passed an examination and thus approved to practice in the field by either the American Board of Radiology.
