Radiologists in Bangladesh — Find & Book

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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Radiologist cost in your area?

You usually pay for the imaging test rather than a separate consultation fee. In your area, an ultrasound (USG) typically costs about 800-2,500 BDT, a plain X-ray 300-800 BDT, a CT scan 4,000-10,000 BDT and an MRI 6,000-15,000 BDT, depending on the centre and the body part. Reading or a second opinion on an outside scan is often 500-1,000 BDT. Private hospitals like Popular, Labaid and Ibn Sina charge more than local diagnostic centres, and many offer package discounts.

How do I book a Radiologist in your area and what should I expect?

Carry your doctor's referral or test request and your previous reports, then book at a diagnostic centre or hospital in your area by phone, online or at the counter. For an ultrasound or CT of the abdomen you may be asked to fast or to drink water and hold urine; the staff will tell you when you book. The scan itself takes a few minutes to about an hour, and a signed report from the radiologist usually follows within a few hours to one day. Always collect both the images (film/CD) and the written report.

Who is the best Radiologist in your area?

The 'best' radiologist for you is one who is properly qualified (FCPS or MD in Radiology and Imaging, or a DMRD diploma), works at a well-equipped, reputable centre, and reports the specific scan you need. On this page you can compare verified Radiologists in your area by qualification, hospital, years of experience and fees. For complex cases such as cancer staging or MRI of the brain or spine, choose a senior specialist at a tertiary hospital with high-resolution machines.

Can I get an online or telemedicine consultation with a Radiologist?

The scan itself must be done in person, because the machine has to image your body. However, teleradiology is common in Bangladesh: you can upload or carry images from one centre and have a radiologist report or give a second opinion remotely, which is useful if your area lacks a specialist. Many diagnostic centres in your area also deliver reports via WhatsApp or email, and you can then discuss the findings online with your referring doctor before deciding on treatment.
