Daily life for radiologist :
There are multiple subspecialties in Radiology, so each of my partners daily work is quite different. I am an Interventional radiologist. I spend about half my time looking at Medical Imaging ( CT, x-ray, ultrasound, and MRI) to diagnose diseases. The other half of my time is spent performing procedures. We use ultrasound, CT, and x-ray to guide various Tools into different parts of the body to diagnose and treat illness. We can open and close arteries and veins as necessary. We also inject radiation and chemotherapy directly into tumors.

Great question! Good to get an idea of a typical day in the life of a profession. I am a gynecologist. On Mondays, I operate from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. then see postop patients. Tuesday through Friday, I see patients in the office from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
I often round in the hospital before clinic patients. The variety is enjoyable for me!
Good luck!
