Download or read book Careers in Radiologic Technology written by Institute For Institute For Career Research and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGISTS ARE THE HEALTHCARE professionals who perform medical imaging examinations used for diagnosing illness or injury. They use a variety of equipment that utilizes radiation to create the images, such as X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT). Some are also trained to administer radiation therapy treatments to cancer patients. Radiologic technologists are often known by the type of technology they handle or the particular examination technique they perform. For example, there are MRI techs, CT techs, and X-ray techs as well as mammog¬raphers, sonographers, and nuclear medicine technologists. Most radiologic technologists work in hospitals, but they are needed in every healthcare setting including doctors' offices, outpatient clinics, diagnostic and research laboratories, and independent diagnostic imaging centers. There are even traveling radiologic technologists who bring their well-equipped vans to patients in their homes, assisted living facilities, senior communities, and hospices. A career in radiologic technology offers a promising future, job stability, and a good salary. The number of jobs is increasing rapidly because of the expanding population of aging adults - the primary users of diagnostic imaging procedures. That makes it a good choice for individuals who want to make sure there is a job waiting for them when they have completed the necessary training. There is a growing demand for qualified professionals who have completed a two-year degree program in radiologic technology. The opportunities are even greater for those who pursue more advanced studies and obtain certification in specializations such as radiation therapy or vascular interventional technology. Salaries for radiologic technologists are very competitive with other healthcare professionals with similar educational backgrounds. The median annual income for a generalist is $60,000, and with the right combination of location and experience, it is possible to reach $85,000. Those who obtain the extra training needed for certification in other modalities can experience a boost in income. An MRI tech, for example, earns on average 25 percent more than a generalist. Radiologic technologists do not have to worry about being laid off or getting bored. This is a stable career that offers many options. You could use your skills to work in pediatric care or orthopedics. You could teach or manage an entire radiology department. You could perform research that leads to breakthroughs in diagnostic imaging or radiation therapy. You could even get out of the hospital environment altogether and work with professional athletes. Once you have obtained the basic knowledge and skills, you can expand the boundaries of your career in any direction that interests you.

Download or read book Pitfalls in Diagnostic Radiology written by Wilfred C. G. Peh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of diagnostic radiology has become increasingly complex, with the use of numerous imaging modalities and division into many subspecialty areas. It is becoming ever more difficult for subspecialist radiologists, general radiologists, and residents to keep up with the advances that are occurring year on year, and this is particularly true for less familiar topics. Failure to appreciate imaging pitfalls often leads to diagnostic error and misinterpretation, and potential medicolegal problems. This textbook, written by experts from reputable centers across the world, systematically and comprehensively highlights the pitfalls that may occur in diagnostic radiology. Both pitfalls specific to different modalities and techniques and those specific to particular organ systems are described with the help of numerous high-quality illustrations. Recognition of these pitfalls is crucial in helping the practicing radiologist to achieve a more accurate diagnosis.

Download or read book Innovations in Diagnostic Radiology written by James H. Anderson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the new series, "Medical Radiology" addresses the important topic of "Innovations in Diagnostic Radiology". It presents examples of current work of interest not only to the radiological community but to physicians in other medical disciplines and to scientists in general. The impact of radiology on diagnostic medicine and patient management has been obvious from the beginning of our specialty. However, the evolution of the field is expanding at an astounding rate. During the professional lifetime of one generation of radiologists alone, numerous technologies and procedures have been added to conven tional radiography: cross sectional tomography, high resolution nuclear scanning, mag netic resonance imaging, ultrasound, interventional radiology and computer based radi ological operations. The optimal interpretation of images obtained by these new technologies requires that we expand our knowledge in physiology, biochemistry and also in our clinical expertise. It also means that radiologists must collaborate closely with other clinicians and basic scientists.
