THE CAREER WITH MULTIPLE FIELDS By, Mariah Sacre

Uses a tomogram to take pictures of “slices” of various parts of the body. Bachelor’s Degree High frequency sound waves are used to take pictures of various parts of the body, most commonly, fetuses. Bachelor’s Degree Uses magnets to polarize hydrogen atoms in water molecules of human tissue in various parts of the body. Bachelor’s Degree To take an x-ray, electromagnetic radiation in used to scan various bones of the body. Associate’s Degree RadiologyMRI CT scansSonography Medical Imaging (and its multiple fields)

Radiology Uses electromagnetic radiation to measure density of bone tissue A type of ionizing radiation is used, which makes taking x-rays more dangerous to one’s health. Lead blankets are used for protection from the x- radiation.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Process of using magnets to draw out hydrogen nuclei in water molecules. Uses 3 electromagnetic radiation fields to conduct image: – very strong static magnetic field – weak time-varying field – weaker radio-frequency field

Computed Tomography Scans Process of taking images in sections or slices Risks include radiation poisoning Similar to CAT scans

Sonography Process of using high frequency sound waves to conduct an image Generally used on pregnant mothers’ wombs for pictures of fetuses Also used for other organs of the body Much smaller health risk factor- becoming more in-demand
