My name is Chris Looney I'm a diagnostic radiologist here at Heartland Hospital in St. Joseph,
Missouri. What a radiologist does, he's the physician, the medical doctor that interprets
x-rays. We read Cat Scans,we read MRI's, ultrasounds, and then regular x-rays that you would get
if you hurt your foot. Diagnostic radiology residency is a four or five year program that
is at maybe fifty major teaching hospitals in the United States that trains physicians
in the area of radiology. It 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 are a medical student looking for a diagnostic radiology residency in the
state of Washington, you could go to the University in Seattle for your training in radiology
technology. Thank you very much for watching, I hope you are all entertaining the idea of
a career in medicine. Again this is Chris Looney thank you very much.
