Let’s take an oncologist for example (someone who studies cancer). What stops an engineer from making a scanner that allows someone to simply scan the area of a person’s skin where the “affected area” is. And the scanner will search through the database checking to see if the rash is benign or malignant. After all, that is all what an oncologist does. He uses his BRAIN to identify the rash and diagnose correctly. What stops an engineer from putting what he learned in a book and and at a school about oncology (and of course, the engineer would have to know oncology to do this) in a machine. Do you get what i am saying? Won’t the job on oncologists and many other professions be out of work in the future? Isn’t engineering where its all at?

And im not talking about a CAT scan or MRI. I’m talking about a handheld scanner that can scan a part, or the whole body if someone wished. it would check the database and diagnose it. There would be no need to oncologists. And if a new cancer came out, the device would simply be updated.
denise, obviously someone would have to be holding the object. Either the patient or professional, but what im saying is, people don’t have to go through all these years of studying medicine because of this device. It can be mass marketed to individuals. Sold in stores. People could buy this thing in Wal-mart. With instructions and everything.

I know I asked this question many times before, but I just want answers. And I’m googling every piece of information I can, but I need straight forward answers.

What is the difference between Nuclear Medicine Technology and Radiation Therapy Technology? http://www.radiologyworkers.com/radiology-blog/please-help-what-is-the-difference-between-nuclear-medicine-technology-and-radiation-therapy-technology/ http://www.radiologyworkers.com/radiology-blog/please-help-what-is-the-difference-between-nuclear-medicine-technology-and-radiation-therapy-technology/#comments Mon, 11 Apr 2011 13:33:50 +0000 Radiology Jobs http://www.radiologyworkers.com/radiology-blog/please-help-what-is-the-difference-between-nuclear-medicine-technology-and-radiation-therapy-technology/ Please Help me!
I am thinking about majoring in one of these programs, but I don’t know which to choose??? I am confused!
What are the differences between the two?
What does a Radiation Therapist do and What does a Nuclear Medicine Technologist do?
What are their jobs?

Serious Answers please!

Thanks!
