Hi, my name is Charlotte and I am finishing my second year of study in Diagnostic Imaging in Anhuntsic College. This program lasts 3 years, wich divided into two. Two years of intensive course at the school and on one year of training course. After that, there is a big exam of what yo lurned in the 3 past years. And only if you succeed the exam you can have a diploma and a licence. You can finally be a diagnostic radiology technologist. In a typical day of a technologist, he is going to take xray's images and analyze them so that it is visually acceptable for the radiologist and he is going to take care of patients. In the text which follows, I am going to give you 3 good reasons for becoming a technologist in Diagnostic Imaging.
1. You can quickly make money
One positive thing to become a technologist in Diagnostic Imaging it's because the studies owed only 3 years. Because of this fact, you can have a full-time job faster and thus make more money faster. Something nice of making money earlier it's because you can put some money aside and that give you the chance to save money. If you safe enough money you are going to be able to have as much money as a person who made university studies and to make the same activities as them without depriving you. Or for somebody who has debts, he can pay then faster and start to put some money aside to prevent certain unforeseen. Finally, we all know that having money it's nice! So why not make more money faster?2. You can work with the puplic
When you work as a technologist in Diagnostic Imaging you have to work with the public. This is a positive thing for the people who like me don't like to stay behing a computer all day long and only see people when you go to the toilet or during the lunch. In this job you have to talk to the patient, to take care of them, to position them for the image. All this to say that we have to have a certain closeness with the patient and we don't have to be afraid of being with different types of people. Another good thing of working with the public it's that sometimes the patient can talk about his life and just the fact of listenning to them give them more self-esteem and it's really gratifying for the technologist.3. You can help people
When you are a thechnologist in Diagnostic Imaging you take an important place when comes the time to make the diagnosis of certain pathology. With the help of the x-ray we can take images of the place wich asking us to photograph. So, the radiologist can make a diagnostic and give the good treatment to the patient. To be sure to have the best image possible, we have to prepare the exam room before the patient arrive in the room and to choose the good exam for the request we have for this patient. After we have to place the patient in the best position to have the best view of the anatomy and finally we have to make sure we can clearly see all the structures in the image. Aslo, we have to make sure the patient is comfortable and to give him everything he need if maybe he want to vomit or just simply if he is cold.
Finally, Diagnostic Imaging is the best program to do because you can have a good wage earlier, you can have a contact with the public and you can make a difference in the diagnostic of a pathology. It staid only in you to decide if you want to join this program!!
