* Being independent is vital as part of a radiologist’s role is to provide clinical advice to the referring medical practitioner on the best treatment for their patient. This is important for maintaining appropriate care for patients and ensuring the best outcomes.
** Most ARG radiologists have completed extra training in their areas of subspecialty. This ensures imaging will be viewed by the most appropriate radiologist based on patient needs. For example, if a patient requires an MRI scan of the brain, it is preferable that they be referred to a specialist neuroradiologist.

What is Radiology?
Radiological procedures are used for looking at the internal structures of the body, whether bone or soft tissue. Usually these examinations are carried out to:
- diagnose disease states, such as cancer or heart disease
- show the extent of injury to body structures
- to aid in interventional procedures, such as angiography.
Radiologists use different methods such as X-ray, Computer Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound as well as some other specialised types of radiological imaging.
The Team
- Medical Imaging Technologists (MITs) or Radiographers perform your X-ray and barium examinations.
- Sonographers are MITs who perform your ultrasound examinations.
- Radiologists are specialist doctors who read and understand your films. They will also be involved if you have an intravenous urogram (IVU), barium study, biopsy and a number of other ultrasound procedures. They interpret the results of the images and send them to your doctor.
