Medical School
After finishing regular school, they go to medical school. Here, they explore understanding the human body and how it works.
During medical school, they get special training on how to read different types of scans. They learn what healthy scans look like and what abnormal ones show.
Doctors work closely with experienced radiologists—specialists in reading scans. They learn from them by studying real patient scans.
Doctors use advanced computer programs to help analyse scans. These tools help them spot even the tiniest details.
Sometimes, doctors make mistakes, but they learn from them. They review cases with other doctors to understand what went wrong and how to improve.
Learning doesn't stop after medical school. Doctors attend conferences and workshops to stay updated on the latest techniques and discoveries.
Doctors often work in teams, discussing cases with each other to make sure they're interpreting scans correctly.
Some doctors choose to specialize in radiology. They spend extra time learning how to read scans in specific areas like the brain or heart.
Even after years of practice, doctors never stop learning. Medicine is always evolving, and they need to keep up with new advancements.
So, when you see a doctor looking at a scan, know that they've put in a lot of time and effort to learn how to read it accurately!
