I live in Michigan and am interested in going to school to either work with CT scans or MRI scans, something like that. I don’t necessarily want to get into radiation. Does anyone know the degree I would need, and/or a good school to go to? I’d like to go somewhere with a 2 yr degree. Thanks in advance.

I’m having a cat scan tomorrow at nine. They gave me two enormous bottles of Barium. Will it affect my body? Will it make me crap my pants or something? I’m really scared. My Mom is expecting me to return to school afterwards and I’m afraid something really bad would happen if you know what I mean. lol. PLEASE help me!

what u have to study how long in school ho wmuch they get paid per hour?

…… 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!

does the job make u ill?

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

I would like to know if a DC can perform x-rays, ct scans, and mri legally in the state of illinois. Would they be able to perform these scans on their own patients? Would they be able to automatically perform these with on the job training or would they have to and be able to sit for these imaging exams from the proper governing body.

I wanna know if i would have to get special training to branch out into other fields of radiology.
