"My name is Chris Looney, I'm a diagnostic radiologist here at Heartland Hospital in St. Joseph, MO. What a radiologist does, he's the physician, the medical doctor that interprets x-rays. We read cat scans, we read MRIs, ultrasounds and then regular x-rays that you would get if you hurt your foot. Diagnostic radiology residency is a 4 or 5 year program that is at maybe 50 major teaching hospitals in the United States that trains physicians in the area of radiology. Covers all of the imaging modalities like I mentioned, CT, MR, ultrasound, nuclear medicine as well as things like interventional radiology, neuroradiology, etcetera. If you're a medical student looking for a diagnostic radiology in the state of California, there are numerous programs. The University of California system whether it's at San Francisco or UCLA or San Diego or Irvine or Davis, all these places have wonderful diagnostic radiology residencies.
