What is the difference between medical imaging technology and clinical medicine (imaging direction)?

First, the pertinence is different:

1, imaging technology is aimed at the learning of operation technology.

2. Images include diagnosis and technology, and the range of images is wider.

Second, the basic definitions are different:

1, medical imaging technology is mainly divided into contrast agent, traditional radiography, digital radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, digital subtraction angiography, image display and recording.

2. Medical 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.

3. 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.

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

Third, the content of learning is different:

1, imaging technology is more emphasis on science and engineering, such as physics, computer programming, VB, C language, macro assembly, single chip microcomputer, and of course image processing, so the requirements for English are also high, because many of them are operated in English.

2. The direction of imaging diagnosis is closer to clinic. In addition to various professional courses of imaging diagnosis, clinical medical students should also study clinical courses such as women and children, ophthalmology, skin, neuropathy and nuclear medicine.

Four, after graduation to different:

1. After graduating from imaging technology, I mainly went to the B-ultrasound room of the hospital as a technician.

2. After graduating from imaging major, you can study hard to be a doctor.

Extended data:

Clinical medicine (imaging direction) can be used as a medical auxiliary means of diagnosis and treatment, and also as a scientific research means of life science research.

Diagnosis mainly includes fluoroscopy, angiography, CT, MRI, ultrasound, digital subtraction, angiography and so on.

The main applications of therapy are interventional therapy and radiotherapy.
