A radiologist is a medical professional who has been trained to diagnose injuries and diseases with the use of x-rays. Radiologists can diagnose a variety of different diseases and injuries. They can also determine the severity of the problem through imaging scans.

The subspecialty of interventional pain management aims to help patients who are suffering from all types of pain by using invasive interventions. This may include anything from nerve blocks to implantable drug delivery systems to spinal cord stimulation. This kind of treatment is often helpful for patients who have long-lasting pain that cannot be easily managed with medication or other means of pain management. Therefore, these treatments are usually reserved for those with serious pain problems.
