Ah - the science that uses medical imaging to diagnose diseases within the body.  I'm actually a radiologist, let me know what I can help you with.

Oh really? I just only started myself, maybe you can tell me some more about the technical aspects of it.

Sure thing - first things first -- we use a variety of imaging techniques with the most popular being X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans and MRIs to usually see what is the disease affecting the individual.

Are those something that a Radiologist diagnoses or is that something the doctor decides?

It is 100% always requested by the family doctor, we just help with the general practitioner diagnose what's ailing an individual.  All reports are then transmitted back to the doctor who requested the imaging.
