A radiologist is a medical specialist who uses medical imaging technology and equipment to diagnose and treat diseases. Originally, the medical specialty only dealt with X-rays; however, with the tremendous technological advances of the twentieth century, numerous ways to visualise the human body and diagnose disease is now possible. Radiologists in Australia must first become a doctor by completing six years of medicine at an accredited university and gain the degree of MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery).
Interventional Radiology is the subspeciality field of radiology that involves minimally invasive procedures. A minimally invasive procedure usually involves a needle that may be used to biopsy an organ, inject into the spine, or treat a tendon injury. Imaging equipment, such as a CT scanner or Ultrasound, are used to safely and accurately guide the needle into the appropriate location. Interventional Radiology therefore ensures minimal discomfort, often avoids surgery and assists in a rapid recovery.
