    A radiologist is a physician who examines medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds to diagnose abnormalities in tissues and organs. Radiologists earn an average salary of $350,000 examining these images after completing four years of medical school, a four-year radiology residency, and potentially further specialization. They must be detail-oriented and able to clearly communicate their findings to patients and technicians.
