In Ontario, radiologists diagnose virtually all diseases including cancer, heart disease inflammatory, infectious and degenerative diseases, neurological conditions, women's health and osteoporosis. They also diagnose trauma. In short, radiologists are the doctors who diagnose most major illnesses which are leading causes of death in both men and women in our province.
Not only do radiologists diagnose disease but they also recommend management strategies for disease and often use imaging to provide minimally invasive therapy through interventional radiology procedures.
Diagnostic imaging is known to be one of the major factors leading to better outcomes and lower health care costs as it helps to diagnose earlier and has effective non-invasive procedures for treatment. This is extremely important to patients as delayed diagnosis can lead to inadequate and ineffective treatment.
Radiology is a miracle of modern medicine which has lead to substantially reduced health care costs, fewer hospital admissions and earlier diagnosis of disease.
