Medical doctors who specialize in radiation therapy are called radiation oncologists. They use ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells or to stop them from dividing. Radiation therapy is used to treat many types of cancer, either alone or with other treatments.

Medical doctors who specialize in using medical images to diagnose and treat disease are called radiologists. They use various imaging techniques, such as X-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT scans), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose a wide range of conditions.
