What does medical imaging do?

Medical imaging is a science that studies the interaction with human body through some medium (such as X-ray, electromagnetic field, ultrasonic wave, etc.). ), and display the structure and density of human internal tissues and organs in the form of images, so that the diagnostician can judge according to the information provided by the images, so as to evaluate human health, including medical imaging system and medical image processing. Medical imaging is also called silver halide imaging, because the film (film) of the former is imaged with silver halide chemical photosensitive materials.

Medical images mainly include X-ray imaging instruments, CT (common CT, spiral CT), positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound (divided into B-ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound, cardiac color ultrasound and three-dimensional color ultrasound), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electrocardiogram instruments and EEG instruments.

Medical imaging major:

Main subjects: basic medicine, clinical medicine, medical imaging.

Main courses: physics, electronics foundation, computer principle and interface, structure and maintenance of imaging equipment, medical imaging technology, photography, human anatomy, diagnostics, internal medicine, imaging diagnostics, interventional radiology, imaging physics, ultrasonic diagnosis, radiation diagnosis, radionuclide diagnosis, nuclear medicine, medical imaging anatomy, tumor radiotherapy and B-ultrasound diagnosis.

Employment situation: not bad. As long as you pass CET-4, preferably CET-6, take a computer grade certificate, and get full credits after passing all subjects, you can usually find a local hospital. Big hospitals are difficult to get into, and everyone likes to recruit graduate students. Medical imaging graduates can engage in clinical imaging technology, functional inspection and other technical work in various medical institutions, epidemic prevention institutions, medical research departments, blood stations and other units, and can also work in medical equipment companies.
