Job Description

Most radiologists in Norway work at hospital departments of diagnostic imaging, previously called “Roentgen Departments”.

The daily role of a radiologist working in Norway will be to interpret descriptions of x-ray images, including CT-scan and MRI, and connect these to clinical findings. The radiologist also analyses images to diagnose diseases by means of morphological and functional changes expressed in different images, e.g. ultrasound, MRI, CT-scan and x-rays. Experience or additional sub-specialisation in mammography will be an advantage and is much appreciated in Norway.
The speciality can be found in almost all of the country’s hospitals. In addition, an extensive business is conducted at private radiological institutes. The radiological examinations are performed after referral from clinicians. Statistics have shown a continuous increase in demand for radiological services for many years, indicating that imaging is becoming increasingly important for patient diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
As a doctor in Norway, it is imperative that you keep yourself updated on the latest medical and technological developments within the field.
