What is your favorite part of the radiology field?

"My favorite part of radiology is diagnosing patients with a disease and then being able to treat it and help them live a longer life. While I do not enjoy telling patients they have a disease, they can typically live an extended life with interventional radiology when caught early. I find the tools and technology fascinating and cannot think of another field I would rather work in."

"I have heard the radiologist described as the 'doctor's doctor.' To me, this means that the radiologist is the leader in diagnostic medicine. Radiologists must know a vast amount of medicine, pathology, and anatomy from multiple organ systems. I am intrigued and excited by the depth of knowledge required by radiologists - many other specialties rely on the radiologist to direct patient care. I also think it is the best specialty geared towards a lifetime of learning."
