Diagnostic radiologist

Diagnostic radiologists are radiologists who further specialize in performing tests to diagnose diseases. People might see a diagnostic radiologist to get a test such as an ultrasound.

Diagnostic radiologists can be board-certified through the Board of Radiology, which is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
