THE CAREER WITH MULTIPLE FIELDS By, Mariah Sacre Medical Imaging (and its multiple fields) • To take an x-ray, electromagnetic radiation in used to scan various bones of the body. • Uses magnets to polarize hydrogen atoms in water molecules of human tissue in various parts of the body. • Associate’s Degree • Bachelor’s Degree • High frequency sound waves are used to take pictures of various parts of the body, most commonly, fetuses. • Bachelor’s Degree Radiology MRI Sonography CT scans • Uses a tomogram to take pictures of “slices” of various parts of the body. • Bachelor’s Degree Radiology • Uses electromagnetic radiation to measure density of bone tissue • A type of ionizing radiation is used, which makes taking xrays more dangerous to one’s health. • Lead blankets are used for protection from the x-radiation. Magnetic Resonance Imaging • Process of using magnets to draw out hydrogen nuclei in water molecules. • Uses 3 electromagnetic radiation fields to conduct image: – very strong static magnetic field – weak time-varying field – weaker radio-frequency field Computed Tomography Scans • • • Process of taking images in sections or slices Risks include radiation poisoning Similar to CAT scans Sonography • • • • Process of using high frequency sound waves to conduct an image Generally used on pregnant mothers’ wombs for pictures of fetuses Also used for other organs of the body Much smaller health risk factor- becoming more in-demand References [1] Sol Nudelman, Dennis Patton. “Medical Imaging”.
