Radiologist

As a Radiologist, you look at images of the inside of people's bodies - X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds - to work out if something is wrong with them. You might spot a broken bone, see if cancer is present, or check if an infection is clearing up.

Your day is spent carefully studying hundreds of images, looking for anything that does not look right. When you see something, you write a report explaining what you found. You then talk with the doctor who asked for the scan so they understand what to do next. Sometimes you guide a doctor through a small procedure - like putting in a thin tube or taking a tiny sample of tissue - using the imaging to see exactly where to go. You need to be good at spotting tiny details and explaining things clearly.
