Tasks: Scanning images of the brain to look for anything like drug damage to cancer?
Scans of the brain in an MRI setting
Scans of the brain in a cat scan setting
Any kind of job that scans brains, and list the job(s?) . Thanks
I’m interested in this because i’m 22 yrs old and wanting to start college. I also have used alot of drugs therefore I have contemplated of what my brain looks like and studying the brain in any kind of way even without it being drug related is interesting to me
Moved to Boston area recently. No can do. Portland OR or Seattle WA? Discuss.?
I moved to the Boston area recently and after visiting NYC and living here for a while I’ve decided the north east is just not my style. I lived in Phoenix AZ for 5 years, LA for 2 years, and San Fran area for 17 years (which is nice but far too expensive).
The area I’ve liked the most is the northwest. I have family there and I’ve stayed there for long periods of time, so I think I have a good idea of what its like.
My question is as a creative (musical) gay man which city would you pick? Seattle or Portland?
I think the people in the northwest are way more laid back like me . . . this whole north eastern overly educated way of acting is getting old, and I just dont think the area is for me. Plus northwest is much cheaper and the pay rate is similar for my job (cat scan).
Just want some opinions.
the doctor at the clinic said i had a concusion but no cranial headbone damage. my skull wasnt cracked. he will not allow for a cat scan and i feel that i need one. i still have dizzy spells, and laps of memory a week later. the workers comp claims adjuster also will not allow for a cat scan if the clinical doctor doesnt ok one. what can i do ?
…… in his head. I’ve researched on the net and discovered that there is a chance for rebleeding. It sounds serious. He had an angiogram(?) today where they went through a vein in his groin to check the bleeding, if any. The hospital has been keeping his BP “high”, otherwise, they say he could have a stroke!
My concern is this: He has no family. NObody. Should I step in – as a friend – and try to get him qualified for medicaid as he has no steady job. He will be 62 yrs old in February.
Also, when he is released from the hospital, my husband and I were seriously considering bringing him to our home for a few days … just to make sure he’s ok. He’s a Vietnam War Vet. Could this brain surgery cause him to become violent or change his personality in any way?
I don’t know what to do! I just want to help him.
And, how would I know if he had “rebleeding” if he was here at our house? Symptoms?
Any help would be appreciated tremendously!

I am currently 30 years of age and intend on attending college this spring. I currently work at a warehouse. I wanna go to college to get a better paying job but also to do something I might enjoy. So wanted opinions from people who currently involve themselves in this career field. I was told I would need to go attend a 2 year x-ray tech program than a year for MRI/Cat Scan then I could pratically do anything in that field.
Keep in mind I have no prior knowledge of human anatomy or physiology. I am also an individual who enjoys history but feels maybe studying to a be a history professor could be impratical givin my age and current income. Although will need federal assitance in order to attend any college. Thank you 
the dr said nothing was broken and put me on ibuprophen 600 its been 2.days. im scheduled to return to my very physical job in 1 day but still in alot of pain what should I do??
I started having an inner ear infection a week ago after I had a cold and I had a bad case of vertigo/dizzy nausea. Then I had a few more attacks for a couple of days and on the weekend I had a pretty bad one at night time and went to the ER. I explained that something was wrong with my inner ear and that I had some ringing and my doctor said I had an inner ear infection. They put me on an IV and drew blood and gave me a CAT scan and they both came back normal. I didn’t argue because I thought it was safe and I was sick.
But all I think I needed was a some anti-nausea medicine to get me through the attack.
Then I read a few days later that CAT scan uses more raidation than a normal x-ray and its like 150x as much, can give you cancer and an MRI would do the job with NO radiation!
I think this CAT scan was a totally stupid idea and they should have done a safe MRI on me and this was overkill for my symptoms. What was this doctor thinking!?!?
The symptoms are almost gone now
