A Radiologist (Radiology and Imaging specialist) is a doctor who uses medical imaging to diagnose and, increasingly, treat disease. In Bangladesh they run the imaging departments of hospitals and diagnostic centres such as Popular, Ibn Sina, Labaid, Square and PG (BSMMU), where they perform and report X-rays, ultrasonograms (USG), CT scans, MRI, mammograms and Doppler studies. Most patients reach a radiologist on referral from another doctor rather than booking directly: your physician orders a scan to investigate abdominal pain, kidney stones, a suspicious lump, headache, stroke, fractures, pregnancy progress, fatty liver, gallstones, a thyroid or breast nodule, or to stage cancer. The radiologist acquires the images, interprets them and writes a detailed report that guides your treatment. During an appointment you check in at the centre, the test is done (often the same day), and a signed report follows in a few hours to a day. Interventional radiologists also do ultrasound- or CT-guided procedures such as biopsies, FNAC, abscess drainage and cyst aspiration. See one whenever a doctor advises imaging or you need a scan reviewed by an expert.
