radiologist

Then the radiologist can look at a similar measurement from a different radiologist on the previous scan, and say whether it's bigger or smaller now.

Google indicates a median radiologist gets $300K/yr and to make the figures ridiculous I'll dedicate one radiologist full time to the MRI.

The radiologist deserves some credit too in my opinion as they are the one to interpret the study.

But I wouldn't say that becoming a radiologist or other medical specialist is so much harder than getting a PhD that the comparison is useless.

To be fair, becoming a radiologist is so much harder than becoming a software developer that I'd sure hope it would come with some perks.

However, for something with major life-altering consequences, having the same radiologist compare scans is important to avoid observational variability.

And your oncology head CT may be read by a radiologist who specializes in abdominal pediatric Ultrasound.

And so the irony is that a Radiologist spending a decade getting educated and makes 300K a year is more likely to be loosing their job than a cleaning lady.

There's nothing in the very low res plastic 3D model that was not already visible on the radiologist's computer monitor.

In his daily life, he's a key administrator at a large hospital and a radiologist.

On a shared computer, where some other radiologist (or resident!) might have changed the display settings in a way he didn't notice.

My parents, who are still waiting for me to quit ``fooling around with computers,'' go to med school, and become a radiologist?

Think about what the "carelessness" of a radiologist that you're talking so flippantly about means for a family – the anguish, sleepless nights, and feeling of morbidity and helplessness.

Part of the problem here is that "radiologist", "registered nurse", and "dental hygienist" all mean something very standardized and specific.

I've noticed that a number of health related professions, ranging from dental hygienist and registered nurse up through dermatologist or radiologist, are big winners in terms of "career flexibility." Some of these fields have very high early barriers to entry (radiologist), others have medium-high barriers to entry (nursing isn't a trivial degree program, nor is dental hygiene).
