CT Scan
A guide for patients and carers
Staff in the radiology department
Radiologists are doctors that are specially trained to interpret scans. They will write a report on your examination that will be sent back to the specialist that referred you for a scan.
Radiographers are the people that carry out the scan. The radiographers have had special training to enable them to work in all areas of the department and to use the scanning equipment.
Radiology nurses and Neuro-radiology nurses work with the radiologists during the more specialised procedures.
