What is a consultant radiologist?

Consultant Radiologists are senior medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and sometimes treating diseases and injuries using medical imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasounds. They interpret these images to help other doctors understand a patient's condition and recommend appropriate treatments. Consultant Radiologists often have a key role in multidisciplinary teams, guiding clinical decision-making and advising on the best imaging strategies. Their expertise is crucial in both emergency and planned medical care.
