What is clinical radiology?

Clinical Radiology is a hospital based medical specialty using imaging to diagnose, monitor and treat various disease processes.  It is a very rewarding career as much of the time is spent diagnosing medical conditions and working with other specialties to help plan a patients treatment.  For a basic overview read What is a radiologist?Most junior doctors will not have had the chance to do a radiology placement in their training and this accounts for the emphasis on a good understanding of the specialty in the radiology application and interview process.  As a specialty, we are looking for intelligent trainees able to work within a multi disciplinary team with good observational, communication and practical skills.  A good understanding of general medicine and surgery is important.  The rewards are high with a career where your skills are valued both by your clinical colleagues and your patients.  The massive growth in applications of radiological imaging and image-guided treatments has resulted in a worldwide shortage of trained radiologists so you will certainly be in demand!
