Radiologists in Malta and Gozo

Radiologists specialise in diagnosing and treating diseases or injuries with medical imaging procedures. Procedures can include X-rays, ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT scan), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and nuclear medicine. Radiologists play a big part in treatments using radiation oncology and interventional radiology. They also take part in surgeries and procedures that require imaging guidance.

When to see a radiologist

You will usually be referred to see a radiologist by your GP or another physician. Radiology can play a big role in diagnosing the disease or injury. Most of the time, radiologists only interpret the image rather than giving you a final diagnosis. Remember to always consult with your GP if you’re unsure or experiencing any issues. You might be referred to see a radiologist in any of these cases:

• Injury (broken bones or torn muscle)
• Pregnancy
• Cancer or tumour screening
• Foreign objects in your body
• Some infections
• Accidents and trauma
• Problems with arteries or other blood vessels
