magnetic resonance imaging

Radiologic Technology is a branch of health care delivery that utilizes x-rays to aid in the diagnosis of medical conditions.

A mammographer has a very important role in the lives of women, as mammography is the primary means of early detection of breast cancer.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnet and radio waves to look at organs and structures inside someone’s body. Health care professionals use MRI scans to diagnose a variety of conditions, from torn ligaments to tumors.1

Radiologic technologists are trained in the use of different types of medical diagnostic equipment. They may choose to specialize, such as in x-ray, mammography, or computed tomography (CT) imaging.
