Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique utilizing magnetic fields and computer-generated radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within the human body.1  Unlike CT scans, MRI scans don’t use X-rays but instead employ powerful magnetic fields and pulses of radio frequencies to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, […]

You can find Radiologic Technologists hard at work in doctors’ offices, hospitals, and radiology clinics nationwide. These professionals provide critical diagnostic imaging services to healthcare communities. While you can become a Radiologic Technologist in as little as two years, the degree’s trajectory stems from its many opportunities. One such vocation arising from this is magnetic […]

A California MRI program’s objectives include a couple of essentials. Completing these items will be important before obtaining licensure or certification. First, most often, one must generally complete an official MRI program. Generally, for entry-level work, this is done so at the associate level.    In California, a good MRI program generally offers advanced imaging […]

Cardiovascular sonography, a.k.a. echocardiography, is a specialized area using ultrasound technology for cardiac purposes. Simply put, an echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart. Like traditional ultrasounds, an echocardiogram uses sound waves rather than radiation to produce images.  What Are Echocardiograms? Echocardiograms enable physicians to examine valves, determine heart size, and assess how well these […]
