What's the difference between imaging technology and imaging medicine?

The differences between imaging technology and imaging medicine are as follows:

Medical imaging and imaging technology have different pertinence, and the purpose of imaging technology is to learn operation technology. Imaging medicine includes diagnosis and technology, and the scope of imaging is wider. Medical imaging technology mainly includes contrast agent, traditional X-ray photography, digital X-ray photography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, digital subtraction angiography, image display and recording.

Medical imaging is to study the interaction with human body with the help of some medium (such as X-ray, electromagnetic field, ultrasonic wave, etc.). ), and display the structure and density of internal tissues and organs of the human body in an image way.

Imaging technology also includes image processing and computer-aided diagnosis, image archiving and communication system, medical image quality management and imaging protection, and clinical application of medical imaging technology.

The role of medical imaging is to judge by doctors according to the information provided by images, so as to evaluate human health, including two relatively independent research directions: medical imaging system and medical image processing.

Imaging technology focuses more on science and engineering, such as physics and computer programming, VB, C language, macro assembly, single chip microcomputer and, of course, image processing, so the requirements for English are also very high, because many of them are operated in English. The direction of imaging diagnosis is closer to clinic. In addition to various professional courses of imaging diagnosis, we should also study some clinical courses of clinical medicine.

After graduating from imaging medicine, I will become a doctor to diagnose diseases. After graduating from imaging technology, I will be a technician to operate the machine, but I can't diagnose it. I am at least an undergraduate majoring in imaging medicine and a junior college student majoring in imaging technology.

What is the employment prospect of medical imaging?

Medical imaging has a good employment prospect. Imaging technology is a rapidly developing new technology. In just a few decades, its development has made a qualitative leap and its development momentum is still strong. So this phenomenon leads to the extreme shortage of talents. In the long run, the development momentum of medical imaging technology and the growth of talents are also accelerating.

The development of imaging technology not only provides convenience for clinical diagnosis and treatment, but also becomes an important means of medical research. Graduates are mainly engaged in clinical medical imaging diagnosis or radiotherapy, medical education and medical research, and can also engage in medical imaging diagnosis, interventional radiology and nuclear medical imaging technology in medical and health units.
