What's a Radiologist?

Radiologist

Say: ray-dee-OL-uh-jist

When a person gets an X-ray or a CT scan (two types of pictures taken of the inside of the body), those funny-looking pictures can be tough to understand. That's where radiologists come in. These doctors are specialists in reading and making sense of those pictures, and they help other doctors figure out what's going on inside the person.
