Radiologists may work with CT scans.
Radiologists take internal images of the body that assist in the medical diagnosis process. Careers in the field can be in the areas of breast imaging, radiation oncology and computed tomography, or CT. Becoming trained as a radiologist requires at least four years of education beyond medical school, but shorter programs are available for people who want to work as a radiologic assistant. Schools in Wisconsin offer training in the area of radiology on both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
