They play a crucial role in diagnosis and are often consulted by other physicians. In Brazil, radiologists work in hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic imaging centers (centros de diagnóstico por imagem). The profession is highly respected and requires licensing from medical regulatory bodies (Conselho Federal de Medicina in Brazil).
