Radiologists are specialist doctors responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases utilising radiologic imaging procedures (X-rays, CAT scans etc.) in both adults and children.
Doctors practicing in the field of radiology most often specialise in diagnostic radiology, radiation oncology, or radiological physics.
A diagnostic radiologist utilises X-ray, radio-nuclides, ultrasound, and electromagnetic radiation to diagnose and treat disease. A radiation oncologist deals with the therapeutic applications of radiant energy and its modifiers and the study and management of disease, especially malignant tumors.
Medical graduates wishing to obtain a specialist qualification in Radiology typically undertakes a Radiology Training Program or a Radiation Oncology Training Program and must fulfill the following criteria:
A candidate must:
1. a) be a graduate of a medical school recognised by a Medical Board in Australia and the Council of the RANZCR (or have successfully completed both Part I and Part II AMC examinations for overseas medical graduates in Australia)

and
2. be fully registered as a medical practitioner by the registering authority recognised by the Council of the RANZCR, in the state or country in which the RANZCR training program is conducted
and
3. complete two full years in an approved hospital as an intern/resident.
