I'm doing a school project on Radiology and I need a question answered: What other kind of doctors do radiologists work with? If anyone could answer this I would be greatly appreciate it.

Radiologists can act as consultants for any other physician.

Primary care physicians (those who see patients as the first-line defense) and specialists (surgeons, like Orthopedic surgeons or Neurosurgeons) can discuss patient's conditions with Radiologists to determine which imaging study will provide the most diagnostic information.

Additionally, after a diagnostic imaging study is performed, Radiologists provide valuable information about the results of the study and plans for possible additional studies.

Hope this helped.
