Clinical radiologists are medically qualified doctors specialising in the investigation and diagnosis of a range of clinical conditions and diseases, using a variety of imaging techniques, such as:

• computed tomography (CT) scans
• fluoroscopy
• magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• nuclear imaging
• ultrasound
• X-rays.

Clinical radiologists may focus on either diagnostic radiology or interventional radiology, or on a mixture of the two:

• diagnostic radiology - finding out what is clinically wrong with patients using a range of imaging techniques.
• interventional radiology - using image-guided pin-hole surgery to treat a variety of conditions - from life threatening aneurysms and haemorrhages to joint, tendon and muscle injuries - in the least invasive way.
