Radiologists
Radiologists are doctors who have completed advanced training in the interpretation
of medical images. They look inside the body to identify, diagnose and
treat illnesses, injuries and other disease. Radiologists work closely
with primary care and specialty physicians to provide expert care for
patients of all ages with a range of medical issues, including cancer,
cardiac, pulmonary and neurological conditions, orthopedic injuries and
more. At Torrance Memorial our board-certified radiologists are distinguished
physicians with specialty fellowship training in all the major disciplines
of radiology.

including standard x-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET/CT, and a wide variety
of specialized imaging procedures for diagnosis and management of disease.
