The traditional way of getting exposed to radiology is when you have to get an imaging exam. Your doctor will write an order for a xray, CT scan, or MRI, then you’ll go to an imaging facility, get your exam done, and then leave. At some point your doctor will call you up or have a follow up appointment with you and tell you what the results were. But who actually looked at the exam? This is where the radiologist comes in.
The radiologist is a medical doctor that is an expert in medical imaging. They look through all the images created and compose a report with all the findings of your exam, with a lot of detail. Much of the information in the report you probably don’t even know is there. Even though an expert in the field took the time to look at your images and gave extensive information, all you get from your doctor is, “Everything was normal.” But did they really convey everything to you? Let’s say you get a copy of the report to read. Can you even understand what the words mean?
Now imagine being able to sit down with a doctor that specializes in medical imaging and having a personalized conversation regarding your health and your body? Wouldn’t you be able to make better decisions if you had a more complete picture? This would empower you to make better health care decisions specific to you. With this added knowledge, you have the power to make sure you are getting the best care.
