Re: Career in radiology courses

Hello buddy here we provides you some career specialization courses in radiology science as follows
• Radiologic technology

This job covers a wide range of functions that produce images for patient assessment and diagnosis. It is sometimes used to refer generally to major career specialties. Sometimes called radiographers, these professionals take X-rays and administer non-radioactive materials to patients to produce diagnostic images.
• Sonography

Diagnostic medical sonographers use high-frequency sound waves, called ultrasound, to create images that assist doctors in diagnosing disease, injury, or other physical ailments.

Sonographers may specialize in
the brain (neurosonography),
the heart (echocardiography),
abdominal sonography,
OB/GYN sonography,
blood vessels (vascular sonography),
and the eyes (ophthalmologic sonography).

Obstetric and gynecologic sonographers study the female reproductive system,


• Computerized tomography
When this technology became popular in the 1980s, it was more commonly known as a CAT scan, but today it is officially referred to as CT. As a patient is sent through a "tube," X-ray images are made in short "slices," much as a loaf of bread might be sliced.
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
MRI does not require X-rays to create images and is less likely to cause any tissue damage in the process. Like CT scan images, MRI images are created by putting the patient in a machine that creates sliced cross section images of the anatomy. Instead of X-rays, however, the images are created with a large, powerful magnet.
• Nuclear medicine
Nuclear medicine technologists use radiopharmaceuticals through injection, inhalation, or ingestion to produce images. Special cameras are used to pick up these drugs once they enter the system.
• Radiology

Radiologists are physicians who specialize in X-rays and other radioactive material for imaging. In addition to completing college and medical school, the radiologist must have about five years of radiology residency training.
• Radiation therapy

Radiation therapists assist radiation oncologists (cancer specialists) by targeting radiation to slow or kill cancer cells in a patient.
• Radiologist assisting

Typically assigned to a radiologist, the radiologist assistant helps with patient management and assessment as well as performing radiologic procedures
• Cardiovascular technology

Because arteries and veins do not show up on a radiograph, an agent is injected into them by these specialists.
.
• Quality assurance

Because the performance of radiologic science professionals means so much to the well-being of patients, many organizations hire or promote professionals to ensure that equipment and performances remain of the highest quality.
