The terms radiologist and radiographer are sometimes used interchangeably, but they refer to different roles within medical imaging.

A radiographer is a trained healthcare professional who performs imaging examinations such as X-rays, CT scans and MRI scans. Their role includes operating imaging equipment and ensuring images are obtained safely and accurately.

A radiologist is a medical doctor who specialises in the interpretation of medical images. Radiologists analyse imaging studies to assist in diagnosis and may also perform image-guided procedures used in diagnosis and treatment.

In a radiologist-led practice, imaging does not end with image acquisition. It is overseen, interpreted and clinically directed by a specialist doctor from start to finish. To learn more about our services, please visit our website.
